The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet

Her character often feels overlooked in the original Jane Austen stories, so I'm curious what motivated the author to give her this spotlight and how that shaped the story.

The setting felt authentic and immersive, but I wonder if some readers found the historical context distracting or enriching.

There were moments where the characters' attitudes felt surprisingly progressive for the era, which sparked my curiosity about the creative choices behind that.
