The Forgotten Sister: Mary Bennet's Pride and Prejudice by Jennifer Paynter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This re-read of a P&P variation concerns the life of Mary Bennet. Not close to the two oldest or the two youngest Bennet sisters, Mary feels her isolation, compounded by her distance from her parents. We see the society of Longbourn and Meryton from another viewpoint as Mary's feelings, hopes and her dreams are revealed to us. From her early life, through the story of P&P, and then several years beyond.
An enjoyable and interesting well-written read of a story from one of the overlooked characters from Pride and Prejudice.
