Exceptional storytelling and a true delight." (Helen Simonson, author of the New York Times best-selling novels Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Summer Before the War) Mary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudice’s five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own. What if Mary Bennet’s life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister, a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Jane Austen fans. Ultimately, Mary’s journey is like that taken by every Austen heroine. She learns that she can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is. She must throw off the false expectations and wrong ideas that have combined to obscure her true nature and prevented her from what makes her happy. Only when she undergoes this evolution does she have a chance at finding fulfillment; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himself - and only at that moment is she genuinely worthy of love. Mary’s destiny diverges from that of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. But it does include a man; and, as in all Austen novels, Mary must decide whether he is the truly the one for her. In The Other Bennet Sister, Mary is a fully rounded character - complex, conflicted, and often uncertain; but also vulnerable, supremely sympathetic, and ultimately the protagonist of an uncommonly satisfying debut novel.  Library Journal Best Books of the Year - 2020 Christian Science Monitor Best Books of the Year - 2020 A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company  [CHAPTER] start=0 end=4503.23875 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part01 [CHAPTER] start=4503.23875 end=8898.278375000002 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part02 [CHAPTER] start=8898.278375000002 end=13423.120375000002 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part03 [CHAPTER] start=13423.120375000002 end=17914.081625000003 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part04 [CHAPTER] start=17914.081625000003 end=22613.996375000002 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part05 [CHAPTER] start=22613.996375000002 end=27351.109500000002 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part06 [CHAPTER] start=27351.109500000002 end=31707.122125 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part07 [CHAPTER] start=31707.122125 end=36069.09075 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part08 [CHAPTER] start=36069.09075 end=40550.308375 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part09 [CHAPTER] start=40550.308375 end=44007.734875 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part10 [CHAPTER] start=44007.734875 end=48424.456125000004 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part11 [CHAPTER] start=48424.456125000004 end=52996.214125000006 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part12 [CHAPTER] start=52996.214125000006 end=57007.61950000001 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part13 [CHAPTER] start=57007.61950000001 end=61150.44687500001 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part14 [CHAPTER] start=61150.44687500001 end=65447.240000000005 title=The Other Bennet Sister-Part15
