Mary Bennet is not usually the most interesting of the Bennet sisters. But her story is compelling in this (first) book of the Bennet Wardrobe series. After some back-story about a Regency version of the Tardis, including how the Wardrobe came to be built, its rules of operation, and how some of the pre-Regency Bennets interacted with it, we come to Mary. As we first see her, she's questioning her life following the marriage of Elizabeth and Jane, and embarking on what she hopes will be a better path. The events that follow all show how she grows from a scripture-spouting bore to a brave, loving, intelligent, and talented woman, whose personality is honed by events in her "home" timeline as well as visits she receives from other users of the wardrobe and her own excursions in time. The ending is perfect, closing one of the many time-circles in the book.

The narrator is also wonderful, bringing to vibrant life the many different characters--female, male, from old to young, from royalty to servants.

The only downside of having listened to this book is that now I have to find a way to read the rest of the series ASAP. Who needs sleep?
