This is exactly what I was hoping it would be. It didn’t dwell too long into the established time frame that was present in pride and prejudice but more so on the lead up, as well as the aftermath with the oft forgot Mary. It was well done, and even took some turns that I didn’t expect, but appreciated.
The discussion on family ties and sisterly bonds being strained, the desire of your parent to bestow affection upon you, rather than neglect (at best)…. Some hard hits were had and I shed some tears.
I can see myself rereading this sometime in the future.

I’ve only watch the movie Pride and Prejudice (2005), but Mary has always been my favorite Bennet sister! This book is for the introverted, the analyzers of social cues, and anyone of the path of learning to love themselves. Mary’s journey is very relatable! Listening to the audiobook gave me so much joy during my cross-stitch sessions. An absolute delight!
