Other Bennet Sister

The Other Bennet Sister shows Mary Bennet in a whole new light, as she becomes Austen's newest leading lady. Soon to be a major BBC One TV series.'Will delight Pride and Prejudice fans' Independent‘Exceptional storytelling and a true delight’ Helen SimonsonIn Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all. An introvert in a family of extroverts, a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else with little in common with her siblings – is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance? There is, however, another side to Mary . . . and she must throw off the false expectations and prejudices that have combined to obscure her true nature if she is ever to embrace joy and happiness in her life.Simultaneously a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, The Other Bennet Sister is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel – and cheer – for Mary as you never have before.'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' Jo Baker, Sunday Times bestselling author of Longbourn
