It starts with the death of Mr. Bennet and the arrival of the new heir Tristan Collins from America, (Mr William Collins having died). Will either of the sisters have a happy ending. Will Mary continue to be happy as a governess or does she wish for love - this is her story. A delightful and well-written sequel (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | Shannon Winslow's excellent understanding of Jane Austen's characters and stories reflect in her knowledgeable continuations of Pride and Prejudice. A pleasure to read accurate representations of life style, dialogue and spiritual aspects others have missed. Return to Longbourn paints a realistic and appealing picture of Mary that includes authentic character development and romantic twists enough to please this reader. I enjoyed Shannon's picturing Mary as an independent and capable young woman with skills and fortitude as we'd expect, but also harbours unexpectedly romantic responses. The conflicts and confusion of the story were both intriguing and suspenseful. No spoilers here; don't worry. My interest and emotions were fully engaged. Would I recommend this book? In a minute! Grab a copy and settle in for a read that will capture you right through to its deliteful conclusion. Thank you, Shannon, for another reading treat!
