The Other Bennet Sister
by Janice Hadlow
Trigger Warnings: verbal abuse, grief, death,
The Other Bennet Sister is a historical fiction/romance story, following the character of Mary Bennet from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I enjoyed reading about Mary Bennet and seeing the Bennet family through a different lens. The writing was beautiful, but the pacing of the story dragged on in the middle part and was rushed at the end.
In Pride and Prejudice, Mary is the sister we don’t know much about. I really liked how The Other Bennet Sister explored Mary’s character and how much she developed over the course of the story. Mary’s passion for theology and ethics was interesting to read about. Mrs. Gardiner is one of my favourite characters from Pride and Prejudice, so it was great to see Mary and Mrs. Gardiner’s friendship grow. I really liked Tom Hayward and his banter with Mary. While this is a romance story, I liked that the main focus was on Mary and her journey.
Overall, The Other Bennet Sister was a wonderful read and I recommend picking it up if you love Pride and Prejudice, and want to know more about Mary Bennet.
