Mary Bennet has never had the grace and charm of her
sisters, Jane and Lizzie, or the confidence of her other
sisters, Lydia and Kitty. Instead, she is the serious and
often awkwardly blunt one whom even her parents never see
getting married. However, when scandal with Lydia erupts and
Mary goes to visit Jane, she meets Henry Walsh, a man who
may or may not show her what love really is.
THE PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET is beautiful, deep, and so
Austen-esque in narration and style that it has to go on my
favorite book list. Mary Bennet absolutely soars to life in
this book. Her character is shown in a fresh light while
somehow keeping her non-conventional attitude and displaying
how lovable she really is. The details that go into her
thought process from the books she's read to how she sees
the world are superb and are complimented by the excellent
descriptions of the world around her in society. The style
of writing by Pamela Mingle shows nothing less than high
talent in bringing together the Jane Austen like prose with
modern syntax.
Henry Walsh could never replace Charles Bingley or
Fitzwilliam Darcy in my heart, but he proudly stands next to
them. The character development he brings about in Mary, as
well as the development she brings to him, sends their
obvious chemistry off the charts. He, too, is serious as
Mary is while being one of the kindest male love interests I
have ever seen in a historical romance. He will not cease to
be a highly enjoyable character to read about.
Whether you are a die-hard Austen or someone who watched the
movies about her books, THE PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET is
something you don't want to miss. It now has a secure spot
on my shelf, and I am eager to see what else Pamela Mingle
has and will create as a writer.

sister, Mary Bennet an enchanting modern sequel to the

confounding. Is his interest genuine or does she foolishly
mistake friendliness for something more? With her heart and

surprising lessons about herself and the desires of her
heart.
