sassless 's review for:
The Other Bennet Sister
by Janice Hadlow
I've always felt bad for Mary Bennet - she did get the rough end of the stick.
This book has two halves to it - the first follows Mary's point of view of the events in Pride and Prejudice, how she behaves and the reasons that drives her to make choices she did in a way that feels honest and relatable.
The second is her life beyond that book. Jumping from one half to the other is a bit jarring at first but once you dive in its so comforting. It feels like the Author 'gets' Mary and the world she's meant to exist in.
All the characters feel like they are the same people as their Pride and Prejudice versions (for better or worse) and there are a few very sweet moments between the wretched anguish of being the middle non-beautiful sister when beauty is the only asset the Bennet sisters have.
