<p><b><i>The Other Bennet Sister</i> presents Mary Bennet in a whole new light, as she becomes Austen's newest leading lady. Soon to be a major BBC One TV series.</b><br> <br> 'Will delight <i>Pride and Prejudice</i> fans' <b><i>Independent</i></b><br> <br> 'Exceptional storytelling and a true delight' <b>Helen Simonson</b><br> <br> In Jane Austen's <i>Pride and Prejudice</i>, Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all. An introvert in a family of extroverts, having little in common with her siblings, and a constant disappointment to her mother, who values beauty above all else, is it any wonder she turns to books for company and guidance? There is, however, another side to Mary - and she must throw off the false expectations and prejudices that have come to obscure her true nature if she is ever to embrace happiness in her life.<br> <br> Both a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, <i>The Other Bennet Sister</i> is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel - and cheer - for Mary as you never have before.<br> <br> 'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' <b>Jo Baker, <i>Sunday Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Longbourn</i></b></p>
