Mr Bennet’s Bride

A man in possession of a fortune must be careful how he chooses a wife.

In country England, 25 years before Pride and Prejudice, the convoluted landscape of family loyalties and social expectations makes marriage frustratingly necessary. Still, Mr Bennet is determined to choose a wife on his own terms — a decision he may come to repent for many long years!

This prequel you’ve always wanted reveals a backstory for Austen’s greatly-loved, but ill-matched, Mr and Mrs Bennet.
