The Pursuit of Mary Bennet: A Pride & Prejudice Novel

A retelling of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, this novel follows Mary Bennet as she comes of age. Growing up alongside her four sisters—Jane and Elizabeth, known for their beauty and confidence, and the flirtatious Lydia and Kitty—Mary was an awkward bookworm. With most of her sisters now married and away from home, Mary has matured into an attractive and eligible young woman. When a scandal involving Lydia and Wickham erupts, Mary and Kitty are sent to stay with Jane and her husband Charles Bingley. There they encounter Henry Walsh, a dashing gentleman whose attention confuses the eager and naive Mary. As she grows closer to him, Mary questions whether her feelings constitute genuine love or merely the misguided notions of a young woman inexperienced in romance and courtship.
