The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet by Colleen McCullough
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nearly twenty years have passed since the marriages of three of the Bennet sisters. Now only Mary remains unwed as she looks after Mrs. Bennet. But all is soon to change and so Mary's adventure begins and she also begins to develop.
I really enjoyed this story which is not just about Mary. If you are looking for a sweet Darcy/Elizabeth story of love ad nauseam then you will be disappointed, this is more realistic. But there are happy endings. And yes this is a variation, where characters can change and grow from canon.
