“One of the juiciest heroines in recent memory goes by six different names, wiggles her way into the bedrooms of just as many men, and lands an invitation to the royal wedding (yes, that one). Society porn at it's best.” —Glamour
“Writing with wicked brio, the author, who is president of Conde Nast International and a great observer and mimic, remains on just the right side of the line marked "off-color," for it's fair to say the end is not the novel's only climax.” —Vanity Fair
“Irresistible rags-to-riches saga…Throughout, the author adeptly balances the different threads, maintains a polished and briskly paced plot, and provides readers with a story that's an absolute delight. Coleridge's smashing epic delivers a wealth of entertainment.” —Kirkus (starred review)
“Coleridge's narrative moves with ease...an entertaining read.” —Publishers Weekly
“Becky Sharp has nothing on Cath Fox. In this clever retelling of Vanity Fair, you become as fascinated by this tattooed, amoral girl from a council flat in Portsmouth as the characters who encounter her are....It's the ultimate rags to riches story -- and you can't help but want to be a little bit more like Cath Fox.” —The Standard
“You cannot fail to be entertained by [N.D.] Coleridge's latest novel...This clever retelling of Vanity Fair is not only hugely enjoyable but also has some spot-on social observations and splendid comic set pieces...Coleridge's fiction is at once frisky and frolicsome, and he has a sharp eye for absurd detail...All in all, Coleridge has served up a delicious souffle on Thackery's china. It's a glorious hoot.” —Tatler
“The novel is as racy a bonkbuster as you could want. But it also has a cruelly compelling satirical edge...Coleridge has an admirably pared-down style...reminiscent of Tom Wolfe: few who pick up The Adventuress will be able to put it aside before they finish it.” —Metro
“[Coleridge] captures the social milieu of his characters perfectly. This is lively narrative.” —Mail on Sunday
“The Adventuress is more than just a comic safari, it is also a sharply written yet lighthearted satire of the British elite.” —GQ UK
“Cathy Fox is a woman who will not be denied . . . and you'll love her brazen nerve and chutzpah.” —Glamour (UK)
“Sizzlingly funny and incredibly filthy, each scene bubbles with mischief and white-water-rapids you to the next. . . . [Coleridge] delivers hugely readable, witty, sharp and sexy fiction.” —The Lady
