If you’re unfamiliar with the plot of Pride and Prejudice, Austen’s most beloved work focuses on the escapades of the Bennet family. With five daughters and an entailed estate passing to their male cousin, the girls—lead by the witty, playful, sharp Elizabeth—must make a marriage match, lest they be consigned (and resigned) to destitution. Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty and Lydia all have charms to recommend them. Mary, the middle child, struggles with being less beautiful, less vivacious, less quick-witted than the rest, a fact the girls’ mother unrelentingly holds over her head.
The Other Bennet Sister picks up where Pride and Prejudice left off. With all her sisters married, Mary remains, unhappy, in her parents’s home at Longbourn under her mother’s demeaning iron fist. Then, her father’s sudden death pushes her into the glittery world of London with her aunt, uncle and cousins. There, the wallflower of the Bennet family learns what it means to bloom—with the help of an unexpected love triangle that throws her world (and spectacles) askew.
