The Other Bennet Sister
The Other Bennet Sister: A Novel | Janice Hadlow
112 posts | 68 read | 2 reading | 63 to read
Mary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudices five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own. What if Mary Bennets life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister, a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Jane Austen fans. Ultimately, Marys journey is like that taken by every Austen heroine. She learns that she can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is. She must throw off the false expectations and wrong ideas that have combined to obscure her true nature and prevented her from what makes her happy. Only when she undergoes this evolution does she have a chance at finding fulfillment; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himselfand only at that moment is she genuinely worthy of love. Marys destiny diverges from that of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. But it does include a man; and, as in all Austen novels, Mary must decide whether he is the truly the one for her. In The Other Bennet Sister, Mary is a fully rounded charactercomplex, conflicted, and often uncertain; but also vulnerable, supremely sympathetic, and ultimately the protagonist of an uncommonly satisfying debut novel.

Well. I don't know what I expected from a story about the most boring Bennett sister. But this 460 page book is about 200 pages too long. I am 40% (of 180) in and Charlotte Lucas not liking her husband but ruling the house is the most interesting part. I have been starting at the book all day and cannot bring myself to pick it back up again. I absolutely am not making it to the end so I am bailing now.

LiteraryinLawrence Yeah, I bailed on this too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo
Ruthiella It did turn into its own thing by the end, but the fact that the author rehashed the entire plot of P&P for almost the first half really did make it drag unnecessarily. (edited) 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella I feel like l ironically just got to where it was starting to look up but the thought of another 300 or so pages was too overwhelming. I am going to finish the book in my own head. In my version Mary ends up happily with Charlotte. 😂 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures I was also annoyed that full quotes were pulled into this from P&P. I don't want to recite parts of your book with you when I have not read your book yet! After the 4th or so time of that I was just not vibing with the book. 3mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a very well done story highlighting a young woman of the 18th century who doesn‘t get married off right away like her sisters. Mary Bennett does something so unusual for her era: she figures herself out first. Very honest portrayal of girl told by all that she needs to settle for any man because she‘s not conventionally attractive or wealthy and believes the nonsense she‘s told before growing into herself. #pemberlittens

“She had gradually discovered that the best response to glorious, unexpected happiness was not to seek explanation for its appearance but simply to embrace it and be glad.” ⚜️I loved this book. It read as very true to Austen. Mary, take center stage. I was so delighted by this story. #audiobook

This book is a blast. I love how it gently spins off from P&P and all its beloved characters and how they slowly develop.

I HATE giving up on books but life is too short to read books you don't enjoy so I threw this one in the DNF folder. I felt so sorry for Mary and while she often is ignored I was too depressed by her story after reading a third of the book to continue.

eeclayton I finished and overall enjoyed it, but I can see why one could give up on it. It's definitely very wordy. 2y

Some characters were different from how I would imagine them, and the P&P references/quotes were amusing in the beginning but became cringy after a while. The whole book is a bit too long, with especially the final drama going on and on forever.
That said, it was an enjoyable read with lots of empathy towards the other Bennet sister, and Mary Bennet absolutely deserves this novel.
Thanks for hosting the buddy read @StayCurious 😊

#Pemberlittens Ch.93-95 Whew, we did it! Finally, our prayers are answered and Mary and Tom actually speak to each other honestly about their feelings, and he proposes! Thank heavens because they‘re perfect for each other and I really wanted to see Mary happy. We hear that Ryder ran off with Caroline (😲), Mrs.B gets the satisfaction of seeing all her daughters married, and I think we can safely say that Mary and Tom get their HEA. A great ending!

I loved this book about the middle sister in Pride and Prejudice. The first third is from the novel and the rest is just Mary‘s own story.

I loved reading about Mary finding out who she is and learn more about her.

And an author how make Mr Collins seem like a nice guy is definitely doing something right.

I really enjoyed Mary's story, especially reading at the chapter-a-day pace with the #pemberlittens - I just had to get through the last bit and witness Mary's ending! I liked all the new development that this author gave to the smaller characters from P&P and I loved all the little nods to the original story scattered throughout.

#Pemberlittens Ch.85-88 - Back in London, Mary waits desperately for Tom to make contact but he‘s MIA. She does see a lot of Ryder, though, and unfortunately her mother comes for a visit. Mrs.B senses prey in Ryder and attacks - trying to get him to propose to her last unmarried daughter, even when Mary begs her to stop. Ryder does tell Mary he wants to run away with her- and thank heavens she declines because it isn‘t marriage he‘s looking for😳

I couldn't resist finishing this one, mostly because Mary was driving me CRAZY these last couple of days! 😂 I overall really enjoyed this one, but I am not sure I would have liked it as much if I hadn't been reading just two chapters a day, because the story was really slow in parts, which I think would have bogged me down more if I had been reading this all in one go. 463 pages was just tooooo long for the amount of story we have here. I did ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) like Mary and felt like she grew as a person, but some of the other characters felt uneven (especially Charlotte - felt like sending her into bitch mode was a bit strong) and the final drama went on rather too long for my liking. So one that I liked but not one I see myself rereading. However, I'm super glad the #PemberLittens chose this one, as it has been fun to see everyone else's thoughts as well!! 2y

I‘ve been doing a read along of this but I couldn‘t stay at the 2 chapter a day pace. (Discovered an unknown #readinghabit) The first half of the book includes some of the P&P story from Mary‘s perspective and details after that gives her character more depth. It is was hard in many places because it was so sad at the beginning but like an Austen novel this heroine gets a satisfying end as well.

I‘m between pick and so-so, but I‘ll round up. It was hard to read the early sections with Mary getting mistreated by everyone (Mrs. Bennet is just awful, and Charlotte‘s a queen bitch), but when Mary moves in with the Gardiners things got much better. What I disliked was the bits “borrowed” from Austen novels (Caroline Bingley and Mary have a Lady Catherine and Lizzy exchange, there‘s a Knightley-esque declaration), which might be 👇🏻

ravenlee something other readers particularly do like, it just didn‘t sit right for me. The last section felt more like a traditional romance-novel conflict and resolution, but it worked. Overall a solid read with the #PemberLittens and second finish for #20in4 2y

#Pemberlittens Ch.33&34 - Mary arrives at Pemberley and is happy and bonding with Lizzy until Darcy returns with his sister Georgiana-Lizzy‘s new BFF. Mary realizes there‘s no place in their bliss bubble for her so she heads to Longbourne to visit Charlotte Collins. Maybe the former spinster can give her advice on her future. Maybe, after she gives Mary the tour of all the improvements she‘s made to her former home - kinda rude, no?

BarkingMadRead Charlotte is so disappointing, and yet I‘m not surprised. I think she‘s enjoying this a little too much! 2y
Christyco125 Does Mary‘s life never improve? Almost halfway through the book and it has been a lot of sadness and misery. I‘m really hoping for an upswing soon. 2y
StayCurious @Christyco125 I agree completely- it‘s so depressing. But I‘ve heard it gets better. 2y
Smarkies I thought that this was the point at which her life turned. But it was not to be. 😞😞 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig I can't see Darcy being uncomfortable having Mary at Pemberley. First off the place is huge, it's not like she's underfoot. Second of all his sister is already living there. Darcy is nothing but honorable. Giving unmarried female relations a home is what a Gentleman did. I think he would try to make Mary welcome albeit in his quiet manner. Perhaps this is a bit of Unreliable Narration on Mary's part and used to move the story along. 2y
Crinoline_Laphroaig ^also I'm not rereading but this is what I remember and have in my Goodreads Review. One of the reasons it was 4 stars for me not 5. 2y
StayCurious @Crinoline_Laphroaig I also wonder how much is what Mary perceives because of how her self esteem is so low 2y

#Pemberlittens Ch.25&26 It‘s the Netherfield Ball and the Bennets come crashing through polite society like the Kool Aid man crashes through a wall - it‘s messy, and there will be a lot to clean up afterwards. Mr.Collins oversteps, Mrs.Bennet loudly gossips - Elizabeth is ashamed, Mr.Bennet is amused - but don‘t worry, Mary‘s singing will surely win the night and smooth ruffled feathers. Right?

I'm not usually big on variations and adaptations, but so glad I decided to read this with the #pemberlittens. I found it super absorbing (if a wee bit too long) and an so glad the slighted Mary got the chance to be her own heroine and make her own happiness in this accomplished book.

I enjoyed this rehabilitation of Mary Bennet, the much maligned, bespectacled sister of the Bennet family in Austen's Pride & Prejudice. My main issue with it was that it was far too long & went over the same path repeatedly, & I felt like I could do without some of the mawkish sermonising in places. But otherwise it was absorbing & entertaining. I wouldn't have minded a single, revolutionary Mary Bennet, though! However, Marriage Is Everything.

LeahBergen Nice review (and I agree on all points)! 2y
BiblioLitten I agree! I bailed on this halfway hoping to pick it up later but I had the same thoughts. 2y
batsy @LeahBergen Thank you 😘 2y
batsy @BiblioLitten I can understand bailing, I almost thought I might not continue during the initial bit (the rehashing of P&P events through Mary's eyes). But the author builds on that to show Mary's development as a character so that worked out in the end :) 2y

What a fantastic take on one of the most underdeveloped characters in literature! I've read Pride and Prejudice countless times and rarely given Mary Bennet a second thought, so I was not prepared to find this book and Mary's story so wonderfully engaging. Mary is the heroine I never knew I needed! I'm so glad this was one of the #pemberlittens chosen books this month!

This was an exceptionally well-done pastiche of Austen‘s Pride and Prejudice, telling the story of the much maligned bookish sister, Mary. Only the first third of this novel covers the same ground as the classic and then we jump two years ahead and see events after the death of Mr Bennet.

It‘s perhaps a trifle long but this author knows her stuff. She wrote one of my favourite Georgian era biographies of the last few years, The Strangest Family.

MaureenMc I‘m loving this one, too! I‘m hoping Hadlow writes more fiction in the future. 😊 2y

batsy It's really absorbing, isn't it? And my criticism at the start was that she was taking Mary's characteristics as a given as an Austen character, but then the book branched out beautifully in a different way, letting Mary become her own character. It's really well done. I've still got a bit to go because it is a bit long 😅 2y

Mary endures two chapters of post-dance shame and regret for dancing with Mr. Sparrow. Surprise, surprise, her mother and Lydia are both horrifically condescending and snide to her, and Mary internalizes their criticism once again, deciding that since she cannot trust her traitorous heart not to get her into trouble, she will henceforth read only instructive texts and be solely head-driven.

Man, Mary just cannot catch a break from her scrutinizing, critical mother who is a heinous bitch about Mary dancing with kind John Sparrow- after all, his father is only an oculist who keeps a shop with a bell on the door! UGH. Whenever I'm confronted with this disgusting classism in period novels, I always think of the sweet, wonderful, wise Betsy Ray, who asks, "How can she love money so much and yet despise the good hard work which earns it?"

ElizaMarie Yes!! ALL the time! 2y
mollyrotondo Wow great quote. It‘s true. If money is earned by hard work it‘s low class but if it‘s inherited by a past generation‘s hard work then it‘s high class 🙄 get over yourselves people! I wonder if Mrs Bennet knew John was making plans to become a doctor if she‘d fell differently about him? 2y
Andrea313 @mollyrotondo Somehow I still don't think Mrs. B would be impressed by his becoming a doctor; he's still not from a "good" family and has no inherited wealth. And if Mary was the first sister to marry, would she see it as setting a precedent for the other girls and the types of men who could expect to come courting? 2y
mollyrotondo @Andrea313 ahhh yes to Mrs Bennet this would set a bad precedent for the rest of the girls. It‘s just awful for Mary. To her mother she‘s not pretty enough for a man and yet if she is to Mary it must be to a man that would never look beyond her appearance. Her mother is just setting Mary up for a lonely life. 2y

I don't read many Austen adaptations, but I'm glad to be reading this! The beginning shows much of what we already know about the Bennets, but also makes us think about the girls' childhoods, positing that Jane, Lizzy, and Mary used to be thick as thieves. But Mrs. B's treatment of Mary as an ugly ducking made her withdraw into herself, and isolated her within her own family. The writing feels very true, and heartbreaking, and I'm already hooked.

batsy That's the bit that I found sad, too—she knows she's not really valued by her mother and she's also outside of the two pairs of sisters. And with a father who can't be much bothered. 2y
