Helpful Score: 1
I've read lots of P&P sequels, variations, etc, and this is the best one for delineating and revealing Mary Bennet. The author takes her through a growing self-awareness; at times painful.
As a quiet middle sister myself, I felt a lot of sympathy for Mary. The story is well-written, plot interesting, and faithful to Jane Austen's characters.
Mary even spends some time at Rosings and stands up to Lady Catherine!
I only wish that an interesting sub-plot in London involving the Wickhams, Kitty, the Bingleys, and Caroline could have been more developed. But mayhap that's another book the author has in mind.
