The Other Bennet Sister

Mary Bennet longs to shine as brightly as her sisters, but often feels overlooked. She hopes to finally win her family's approval at the upcoming Meryton assembly.

After disappointment at the ball, Mary sets aside hopes of finding a match and devotes herself to more serious pursuits. But her resolve is tested when Mr Bennet's distant cousin Mr Collins visits Longbourn with a surprising proposal.

After a family tragedy, Mary and her mother are left facing an uncertain future, until Mary receives an unexpected offer from her aunt and uncle.

As Mary adjusts to London, overheard news shakes her confidence; Mr Hayward introduces Mary to poetry, opening her mind and heart.

Mary begins to flourish in London society, but a run-in with an old rival and troubling news from home threaten her growing confidence and force her to face up to the past.

Mary rushes to Pemberley, where she is swept back into her family's orbit. It feels as if Mary is right back where she started, until a visit from Mr Ryder shakes things up.
