About this ebook

Pride and Prejudice's Mary Bennet gets her own story...

The third of five daughters, Miss Mary Bennet is a rather unremarkable girl. With her countenance being somewhere between plain and pretty and in possession of no great accomplishments, few expect the third Bennet daughter to attract a respectable man. But although she is shy and would much prefer to keep her nose stuck in a book, Mary is uncertain she wants to meekly follow the path to spinsterhood set before her.

Determined that Mary should have a chance at happiness, the elder Bennet sisters concoct a plan. Lizzy invites Mary to visit at Pemberley, hoping to give her sister a place to grow and make new acquaintances. But it is only when Mary strikes out independently that she can attempt to become accomplished in her own right. And in a family renowned for its remarkable Misses, Mary Bennet may turn out to be the most wholly unexpected of them all...

One of the great things about Pride and Prejudice variations is that the author can give characters you wished had gotten their just deserts in the original and, therefor, right some wrongs. This book does a poor job of taking advantage of that opportunity. The author obviously tried to right many wrongs bit out falls short so often and the last quarter of the book sort of fell apart. Your left only vaguely satisfied and some issues are never resolved leaving you to wonder how their stories ended.

Characterization was a bit all over the place, with the author trying to make many of them very different than they were in P&P, plot a little disjointed, romance lukewarm. Writing style pleasant, though, and easy to read. Overall readable if sometimes silly or dull.

It turned out to be good. It ended great! I liked how the characters turned out. Also how Mary turned out to be quiet happy. I liked it all!
