Mary B: A Novel by Katherine J. Chen

Binding: Hardcover & Paperback

List Price: $27.00 USD

Our Price: $7.35 USD

Looking for a fresh perspective on Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride & Prejudice? Then look no further than Katherine Chen’s debut Mary B: A novel. Chen’s book brings Mary Bennett, a timid and overlooked character in Jane Austen’s 1813 original, to life! She not only gives Mary her own storyline and journey but more importantly, a voice that readers will find highly relatable.

While Pride & Prejudice has been reimagined and rewritten for several books and movies, Mary B: A novel is a must-read for fans of the original who appreciate a twist, or for those who might be interested in Mary’s story of independence, scandal, and passion.
