Anna is new to the city, introverted and na\u00efve, and Peter\u2019s experience, wide circle of friends and thirst for adventure captivate her. Her obsessive longing for him leads to marriage and, eventually, a crushing betrayal.<\/p>\n As Anna\u2019s life becomes less predictable, she uncovers deeper layers of herself.

Humans and mutants linger in the gloom beneath its chimneys, where the rivers are sluggish with unnatural effluent, and factories and foundries pound into the night. <\/p>\n For more than a thousand years, the parliament and its brutal militia have ruled over a vast array of workers and artists, spies, magicians, junkies and whores. Now a stranger has come, with a pocketful of gold and an impossible demand, and inadvertently something unthinkable is released. Soon the city is gripped by an alien terror \u2013 and the fate of millions depends on a clutch of outcasts on the run from lawmakers and crime-lords alike.<\/p>\n The urban nightscape becomes a hunting ground as battles rage in the shadows of bizarre buildings. And a reckoning is due at the city’s heart, in the vast edifice of Perdido Street Station.

Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious. But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness.<\/p>\n Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience-store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle. When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. <\/p>\n But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to make Shoko suspicious. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?<\/p>\n Borrow Hooked<\/em> \u2192<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/suffolkcommunitylibraries.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/The-Other-Bennet-Sister.jpg” alt=”The Other Bennet Sister” title_text=”The Other Bennet Sister” url=”https:\/\/suffolk.borrowbox.com\/product\/MDA_717516\/title\/the-other-bennet-sister” url_new_window=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”19px” text_line_height=”1.3em” link_font_size=”19px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Janice Hadlow<\/strong><\/p>\n To be handsome and poor is misfortune enough; but to be both plain and penniless is a hard fate indeed.<\/p>\n In Jane Austen\u2019s Pride and Prejudice, Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all, so what hope does she have? Prim and pious, with no redeeming features, she is unloved and seemingly unlovable.<\/p>\n The Other Bennet Sister, though, shows another side to Mary. An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father\u2019s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings \u2013 is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance?
