kernandi 's review for:
The Other Bennet Sister
by Janice Hadlow
For some reason I frequently feel compelled to read novels based on Jane Austen’s classics, even though I am disappointed more often than not. This book did not disappoint. The author chose to follow what happens with Mary after Pride and Prejudice ends. The beginning is slow as there is a bit too much time spent setting the scene for those readers who aren’t familiar with P&P (if they exist). And maybe Mary changes a bit more than is really plausible, but overall I really enjoyed this book. Hadlow’s word choices and phrasing are very reminiscent of Austen and many parallel themes or events from other Austen novels made appearances. Glad I read it.
