The full-color companion to the new film version of the Thackeray novel starring Reese Witherspoon and directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding, Salaam Bombay!).Reese Witherspoon stars as Becky Sharp, one of the greatest female characters ever created.

In that time she's become fascinated by the rich history of Highclere, and by the extraordinary people who lived there over the centuries.
