About this item
A tale of love and marriage, society balls and courtship, class and a touch of scandal, Pamela Mingle's The Pursuit of Mary Bennet is a fresh take on one of the most beloved novels of all time, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.Growing up with four extraordinary sisters—beautiful and confident Jane and Elizabeth, and flirtatious and lighthearted Lydia and Kitty—wasn't easy for an awkward bookworm like Mary Bennet. But with nearly all of her sisters married and gone from the household, the unrefined Mary has transformed into an attractive and eligible young woman in her own right.When another scandal involving Lydia and Wickham threatens the Bennet house, Mary and Kitty are packed off to visit Jane and her husband, Charles Bingley, where they meet the dashing Henry Walsh.
About the Author
I live and write in Lakewood, Colorado. My husband and I love traveling to England, where we often do continuous walking trips. That means going from one town to the next, on foot, sometimes 15 miles a day! It was on one of these walks I discovered Hoghton Tower, the setting of my debut YA novel, KISSING SHAKESPEARE, which released in August 2012. In the spring of 2013, KISSING SHAKESPEARE was chosen as the winner of the Middle Grade/Young Adult category of the Colorado Authors' League Awards. And in June, KS won the Colorado Book Award in the Young Adult category. So. ..spring and summer of 2013 were pretty good to me. THE PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET: A PRIDE & PREJUDICE NOVEL, was released in December of 2013. If you loved PRIDE & PREJUDICE, I think you'll enjoy reading this Austen-inspired sequel about the socially awkward middle sister. PoMB was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award in 2014. And I have a new book coming from Entangled Select Historical in the summer of 2016. It's a Regency romance, and the working title is A FALSE PROPOSAL. Besides historical fiction, I love mysteries, mainstream, YA, and fantasy. And I love finding out what other people are reading.
