Description
"What if Mary Bennet's life took a different path from that laid out for her in 'Pride and Prejudice?' What if the marginalized middle daughter of the Bennet family, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, found a fulfillment to compare with those enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of 'The Other Bennet Sister.' Like every Austen heroine, Mary must learn that she can expect joy only when she has accepted who she really is, discarding the false expectations and wrong ideas that have obscured her real nature. Only then does she have a chance at finding happiness; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himself. But Mary's destiny also diverges from those of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. Instead, Mary's story transports readers into the bustling heart of preindustrial London, with its cluttered storefronts and air of self-made aspiration. And though the story does include a great love, Mary must decide not only whether he is truly the one for her, but also whether domestic life is the path she wants to pursue at all. In this boldly conceived and masterfully delivered debut, Mary Bennet is a fully rounded character -- complex and conflicted, vulnerable and supremely sympathetic"--,Provided by publisher.
