Thriller
A delightfully wicked novel, The Adventuress follows the
rise and rise of Cathy Fox, a modern-day Becky Sharp No one forgets Cath Fox. From her scorpion tattoo to her
other worldly charms, she's a shrewd woman-on-the-make who
will not be swayed in her quest for the top. From her humble beginnings as a matron's assistant at a top
girls' boarding school, Cath embarks on a journey that will
take her from a Portsmouth backstreet to the boardrooms of
the global empires. With a cast of footballers, media
moguls, lords and dukes, Coleridge charts the rise of a
woman who will not be denied, right to the very pinnacle of
society—a Royal Wedding. N. D. Coleridge has been praised by everyone from Tina Brown
to The New Yorker to Graydon Carter for his irresistibly
funny and flawless dissection of social mores. Cutting a
sweep from the 80s to the present day, this Vanity Fair for
our age is keenly observed, hilarious, and utterly addictive.
