Reviews
"An immersive and engaging new version of a familiar world . . . at once true to the source material and to life . . . Hadlow's great achievement is to shift our sympathies so completely that . . . it's difficult not to race through those final pages, desperate to know if [Mary] will, after all, be allowed--will allow herself--a happy ending." --Jo Baker, The Guardian "If you thought Mary, the nerdy, plain sibling in Pride & Prejudice , was too dull to warrant her own novel, think again: In Hadlow's imaginative retelling, the sister with no prospects finally gets some respect--and perhaps even a guy." - O, The Oprah Magazine "Debut novelist Hadlow manages it with aplomb.... [writing] with sensitivity, emotional clarity, and a quiet edge of social criticism Austen would have relished. Entertaining and thoroughly engrossing." -- Kirkus (starred review) "Delightful. . . . This is a charming and enchanting story . . . [that readers of Pride and Prejudice ] will love, as will historical fiction readers looking for intelligent heroines with agency and heart." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Top-tier. . . . A historical novel told for contemporary times." - The Christian Science Monitor "Gorgeous. . . . [ The Other Bennet Sister ] is a wonderfully, warm, comforting read -- perfect on a winter's night." --The Sun (UK) "Impeccably researched, this lifts Mary from obscurity, as she breaks out of her mother's world and follows her own path." -- Daily Mail "A heroine that even Ms. Austen would approve of. A treat for--and for anyone else who likes their fiction to have sense and sensibility." --Daisy Goodwin, New York Times bestselling author of The American Heiress and Victoria "Jane fans rejoice!

Synopsis
A NPR CONCIERGE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR "Jane fans rejoice! . . . Exceptional storytelling and a true delight." --Helen Simonson, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Summer Before the War Mary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudice 's five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own. What if Mary Bennet's life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice ? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister , a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Jane Austen fans. Ultimately, Mary's journey is like that taken by every Austen heroine. She learns that she can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is. She must throw off the false expectations and wrong ideas that have combined to obscure her true nature and prevented her from what makes her happy. Only when she undergoes this evolution does she have a chance at finding fulfillment; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himself--and only at that moment is she genuinely worthy of love. Mary's destiny diverges from that of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. But it does include a man; and, as in all Austen novels, Mary must decide whether he is the truly the one for her. In The Other Bennet Sister , Mary is a fully rounded character--complex, conflicted, and often uncertain; but also vulnerable, supremely sympathetic, and ultimately the protagonist of an uncommonly satisfying debut novel., Mary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudice 's five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own.

Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is in better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you!

The seller charged a very reasonable price and shipped it quickly in a sturdy package. It arrived fast and in perfect condition. There was no need for further communication. They did a great job and I strongly recommend this seller.
