About this listen
Everyone knows the story of Elizabeth Bennet, who married Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. But what about Elizabeth's sister Mary? Master storyteller Colleen McCullough imagines a life for Mary Bennet 20 years after the events of Jane Austen's novel. Twenty years on, each of Mary's four sisters is settled in her own way: Jane has a happy marriage and a large family; Lizzie and Mr Darcy have a formidable social reputation; Lydia has a reputation of quite another kind; and Kitty is in demand in London's fashionable salons. Mary, however, is a changed woman, and newly independent of family obligations. Now she is afire with resolve - to publish a book revealing the ills of England and the plight of the poor. But the travels she undertakes to research her book will put her life in danger - and ultimately deliver her to the man who inspired her.
The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet is both an exciting adventure and a cracking romance, and a work for every woman who has wanted to leave her mark on the world.

Creative mish-mash
This was a fantastic surprise! It started out in very sedate Austen fashion, with a little Bronte thrown in, but then became an adventure, crime drama and romance all rolled into one story! Great character development too. Loved it!

Clever extension of Pride and Prejudice.
Well worth a read!
I am so glad I got over my initial disappointment when I started listening because it really was a terrific story. It is worthwhile persisting and allowing it to flow. Colleen McCullough has written a beautifully crafted tale following on from Pride and Prejudice. I thought the narrator Nicki Paull had difficulty with some of the Darcy masculine voices but it did not take away from the enjoyment of this story. Highly recommended.
