The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow
4.0

A wonderful revisit to the story of Pride and Prejudice told from a very different perspective. All the known characters come to life and of course new ones too!
Mary Bennet finally gets her chance to shine. Portrayed as a weed in a bed of flowers Mary will discover that beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder and although everyone including her own mother never fails to try and put Mary in her place, she still manages to rise above the obstacles. Surly Mary is destined to carve her own love story full of all the usual uncertainties but more importantly she learns to love herself, just the way she is.
A lovely story of self worth that will even make the reader take a step back to observe their own dignity and how they perceive themselves. If you love Pride and Prejudice than I highly recommend!
