This one is part of a series on Jane Austen, where I will be reviewing recently published books on her - they could be retellings of her stories or books about her life and times. The Other Bennet Sister follows the events in Mary Bennet's life in and beyond Austen's original novel, as the death of her father brings about the inevitable displacement, as well as questions about what Mary truly wants for her future...
