In this Pride & Prejudice sequel five years have passed since the marriages of Jane and Elizabeth, and Mary is the last unmarried daughter. Unexpectedly she is bequeathed an inheritance by a distant cousin named Margaret Ashburn. An inheritance of Ashburn Keep. Follow Mary's trials and tribulations. Can she also have a happy ending.
Really enjoyed this story, especially as it is all about Mary, and I liked the new characters.
Another re-read, again. And Again.

While I like Austenations and love old-fashioned gothic romances, this one had too many anachronisms and plot holes for me to really recommend.

A very fun read. Only nitpick was the speed of the Spain trip.
