Product Description
Readers of
Pride and Prejudice will remember that there were five Bennet sisters. Now, twenty years on, Jane has a happy marriage and a large family; Lizzy and Mr. Darcy now have a formidable social reputation; Lydia has a reputation of quite another kind; Kitty is much in demand in London's parlours and ballrooms; but what of Mary? Mary is quietly celebrating her independence, having nursed her ailing mother for many years. Marriage may be far from her mind, but what if she were to meet the one man whose fiery articles infuriate the politicians and industrialists? And if when she starts to ask similar questions, she unwittingly places herself in great danger?
