Prim and pious, with no redeeming features, she is unloved and seemingly unlovable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Other Bennet Sister\u003c\/em\u003e, though, shows another side to Mary. An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father’s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings – is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance? And, if she finds her life lonely or lacking, that she determines to try harder at the one thing she can be: right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne by one, her sisters marry – Jane and Lizzy for love; Lydia for some semblance of respectability – but Mary, it seems, is destined to remain single and live out her life at Longbourn, at least until her father dies and the house is bequeathed to the reviled Mr Collins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut when that fateful day finally comes, she slowly discovers that perhaps there is hope for her, after all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimultaneously a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, Janice Hadlow's \u003cem\u003eThe Other Bennet Sister\u003c\/em\u003e is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world.
