About this story
Rebecca climbs to Gaunt House in gray satin and falls from it in a night, and years on, at her lodging, she opens a letter case and shows you the note George wrote her in June 1815. Sixty-six chapters carry you from a coach leaving the academy gates to the fair's last call at midnight.
Who you’ll meet
Rebecca Sharp, leaving Miss Pinkerton's academy for a governess's post, and Miss Jemima, the proprietress's kinder sister. You play Amelia Sedley.
