Notes:
‘Mary Bennet, the central character of this engrossing and intelligent novel, springs to life in this account of her marriage and the shocking and moving events that follow in its wake. I loved it.' ADÈLE GERASWhen Mary Bennet marries the Rector of Humbole, she hasn’t a clue what awaits her. But the servants have some idea…Mary is shy, pious, and values her privacy. So the Reverend Robert is surely the ideal husband. And close to Pemberley, and her sister, Lizzy Darcy, too! That will offer the company of cultured and wealthy parishioners.But it is not amidst the aristocracy that Mary will find her awakening. It is among the poorest of the servant class that tables will be overturned, apple-carts will be upset, and Mary will be faced with the challenge of a lifetime.For when Lizzy’s favourite maid falls pregnant, Mary finds herself offering the maid – and her crippled little sister – sanctuary in the Rectory. From then on, Mary’s fate is bound up with the fate of these two outcasts, and Mary will have to stand up to the Darcys of Pemberley.The Unexpected Marriage of Mary Bennet is an enthralling follow-up to Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice.
