Sudden Acquisitions: A sequel to Pride and PrejudiceSudden Acquisitions: A sequel to Pride and Prejudice by Louise Birkett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride & Prejuice sequel, seven years have passed and Mary is the only unmarried Bennet left at home. This has resulted in an improvement in her character with the help of her elder sisters and father. Then the Bennets and the other family members are invited to Pemberley for the Christmas season. Can this visit give Mary the chance to do something that none of her sisters have yet to do.
A really delightful story, well-written, and I couldn't wait to get to the end to see how events would unfold.
Another re-read, again and again.
