The Pursuit of Mary Bennet: A Pride and Prejudice Novel
By Pamela Mingle
Genre: Historical Fiction
Personal Rating: 9/10

This is a random novel my mom found for me in the bargain bin at Barns and Nobel. I hadn't heard of it before and wasn't necessarily expecting to love it, but I was pleasantly surprised. This is a novel about what happens after Pride and Prejudice, particularly to the middle sister, Mary. Mary has always been the more awkward and withdrawn sister, and this book is about her finding her own happiness while living in a world that seemed to revolve around her sisters. I thought the author did a very good job of maintaining the qualities of the characters Jane Austin has created. The story did start out a little slow, but I found it very enjoyable by the end. If anyone is looking for a nice, clean regency romance, then I would highly recommend this one.
