gaelledesousa 's review for:
The Bennet Women
by Eden Appiah-Kubi
I truly enjoyed reading this one.
Diversity and inclusivity were put to the fore through amazing characters who were not afraid to discuss important subject matters and voice their opinions. No really, the character-building was so refreshing. Each choice that was made throughout the story always felt right and realistic. I did not feel like some obstacles were thrown at the characters only to create useless drama (something that happens pretty often in contemporaries).
Another thing that made my reading experience so nice was how easy it was to fly through the story. The book is fast-paced thanks to the structure of the novel, which follows the unfolding of a classic college year.
As for the retelling aspect of the story, I thought it was well done. I noticed several similarities with p&p, but it was done in a subtle way. It set the tone for the entire story while still letting room for the author to discuss important issues regarding today's society.
