“The Other Bennet Sister” by Janice Hadlow is the story of Mary, the middle sister from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Mary has the misfortune to be born without the wit and beauty of her other four sisters, and so earns her mother’s scorn and her father’s indifference. The two elder Bennet sisters, while kind to Mary in their own way, are sometimes her allies but certainly don’t go out of their way to look after their younger sibling. And the two youngest sisters are simply cruel to Mary. Without anyone to direct her, the floundering Mary begins to follow her sometimes misguided heart…frequently with disastrous outcomes, but often with very good results. And as she learns to trust her own instincts, Mary grows into a truly strong, confident young woman!
