Mary Bennet's Chance is a sequel to Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Without compromising Austen's original intentions, characterisations or literary style, this novel traces the story of Mary Bennet three years after the conclusion of Pride and Prejudice. The year is 1816, the "year without a summer" , the year of the Littleport riots, and the year that a war-ravaged Europe was recovering after Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. Twenty-one year old Mary Bennet, the middle of five sisters, is an educated and forward-thinking young woman of her day, but she has resigned herself to a stifling future in the Little Village of Meryton, looking after her ageing parents. There is no likelihood of finding true love or even finding a husband. On a visit to her aunt and uncle in Cambridgeshire, Mary's world is turned upside down when she meets Charles Treymayne and Fitzroy Sinclair. These two men are to have a lasting effect on her.
