The Wager: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Kate Bedlow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A re-read of a Pride and Prejudice variation where we read about the circmstances that lead to the circumstances of Mary beinge invited to visit Hunsford where she meets Major Quartermaine, a relation of Lady Catherine late husband. Events make her think less of the Major, but can there be a happy ending for this shy and prim Bennet daughter.
Thoroughly enjoyed this story, just wished Mary story's could have been a longer. I liked this Mary and the new character.
Love finding stories about the minor characters in Jane Austen's works, I just wish there were more.
Five stars as it is a re-read (again) and was still enjoyed, and millions of stars for not marrying Mary off to Collins or any other parson or clerk.
