But although she is shy and would much prefer to keep her nose stuck in a book Mary is uncertain she wants to meekly follow the path to spinsterhood set before her.Determined that Mary should have a chance at happiness the elder Bennet sisters concoct a plan. Lizzy invites Mary to visit at Pemberley hoping to give her sister a place to grow and make new acquaintances. But it is only when Mary strikes out independently that she can attempt to become accomplished in her own right. And in a family renowned for its remarkable Misses Mary Bennet may turn out to be the most wholly unexpected of them all...
