The Other Bennet Sister

Janice Hadlow

A richly imagined Pride and Prejudice companion that finally gives Mary Bennet — the overlooked, bookish middle sister — her own story. After her sisters marry and her world at Longbourn shifts, Mary must learn who she is when no one is watching, choose love on her own terms, and discover that quiet girls get endings too.

“She can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is.”
