MARY B An Untold Story of Pride and Prejudice

Narrator Marisa Calin brings a refreshing voice to the previously barely heard from and often mocked Mary Bennet, the middle and least lovely of the Bennet sisters in Jane Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Calin's clear, prim British-accented dialogue fits perfectly with our understanding of Mary as she speaks with her family. But her inner voice allows listeners to feel the pain of rejection and of being the undesired sister no one takes seriously--as well as her ardent hopes for more. Calin develops Mary's voice as she ages, allowing listeners to revel in the languid hours spent in the library at Pemberley, where her sister Lizzie has settled with Mr. Darcy. It's there that listeners hear her awakening passion for writing, for romance, and for creating a world of her own. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
