The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow

phillerk's review against another edition

2.0

Surprisingly little character development for the length of book this is. Mary is hardly a different person at the end of the book than at the beginning, she is just in different circumstances: she wears more-fashionable dresses and has finally met a man who likes that she is bookish and intellectual and doesn’t mind that she wears glasses. I would say it was a light, fun read, but it was way too long for that.

I felt like I had stepped back into the world of Pride and Prejudice! I could not put it down!

Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books of all time, and I was pleasantly surprised by this book.

I did feel at times like there was a lot of filler in this book that wasn't necessary, but overall quite enjoyed it.

Tätä kirjaa lukiessa tuli sellainen tunne, että tämä olisi ollut ihan kiva täysin itsenäisenä kirjana, ilman Bennet-kytköstä. Tarinaa oli sitä miellyttävämpi lukea, mitä kauemmas Ylpeyden ja ennakkoluulon tapahtumista päästiin. Y&E:n replojen käyttäminen eri yhteyksissä tuntui vähän päälleliimatulta. Maryn hahmo oli ihan hauska, epävarma ja tarinan myötä kasvava päähenkilö, mutta hän ei tuntunut samalta hahmolta kuin Austenin Mary. Onnistuneimmin siirtymä alkuperäisteoksesta tähän oli tehty Lizzien kohdalla, kun taas Charlotten hahmo koki varsin karun kohtelun.

I love this continuation of the Bennet family story. I consider this charming and beautiful story cannon. This story give a redemption to every written off character and dignity to every person who feels overlooked and invisible.
