We enjoyed this sequel to Pride and Prejudice this last weekend. It tells the story of the last of the Bennett sisters, Mary, in a one season, ten episode series. We got a weeklong “free trial” on Britbox to watch it, which was easy to do, and we cancelled it after we watched it.
This is a thoroughly delightful peek at the most awkward and bookish sister of the family coming of age and knowing her own mind and heart. There is a delightful cameo of Mary chatting with Mr. Collins, as well as some classic interactions with Caroline Bingley. Mary stands up to her meddling, badgering mother too.
I recommend this for some summer fun; I give it four stars.

It was broadcast on BBC television in the UK and well received. It prompted me to read the book, which was slightly different. I recommend reading the book after seeing the film. Thanks Polly for posting about it.
