The Unexpected Miss Bennet

By Patrice Sarath

Book Overview

Pride and Prejudice 's Mary Bennet gets her own story... The third of five daughters, Miss Mary Bennet is a rather unremarkable girl. With her countenance being somewhere between plain and pretty and in possession of no great accomplishments, few expect the third Bennet daughter to attract a respectable man. But although she is shy and would much prefer to keep her nose stuck in a book, Mary is uncertain she wants to meekly follow the path to spinsterhood set before her. Determined that Mary should have a chance at happiness, the elder Bennet sisters concoct a plan. Lizzy invites Mary to visit at Pemberley, hoping to give her sister a place to grow and make new acquaintances. But it is only when Mary strikes out independently that she can attempt to become accomplished in her own right. And in a family renowned for its remarkable Misses, Mary Bennet may turn out to be the most wholly unexpected of them all...

Pride and Prejudice's Mary Bennet gets her own story...

This was a really fun book that portrays Mary Bennet as the heroine of the story and provides her an opportunity to grow and develop as her own character. I thought this book was really well written and did a great job of adding on to the characters of Pride and Prejudice as well as introducing a new character to the story. I enjoyed the plot for the story and seeing how it all unfolded.
