'Entertaining historical fiction with Jane Austen vibes' - Good Housekeeping Inspired by real history, Rules of the Heart is the sweeping new novel from the bestselling author of The Other Bennet Sister, Janice Hadlow. When I love at all, it is with my whole soul – my heart must be torn to pieces before it can forget . . . England, 1794. Lady Harriet Bessborough seemingly has it all: wife to a lord and sister to a duchess, she is welcomed in the most fashionable circles. Yet she yearns for something her marriage has failed to offer: true love. When she meets the captivating Lord Granville, twelve years her junior and a famous heartbreaker, she at first dismisses his advances as opportunistic flattery. But then she sees another side to him - a side she realizes she cannot resist. As she plunges into an all-consuming affair, Harriet finds herself torn between her duty and her deepest desires. For, in a world where appearances are everything, each anxious but besotted step she takes leads her ever closer to scandal and ruin . . . Praise for The Other Bennet Sister: 'Immersive and engaging' - The Guardian 'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' - Jo Baker, bestselling author of Longbourn 'A novel that will delight Pride and Prejudice fans' - Independent

The Other Bennet Sister presents Mary Bennet in a whole new light, as she becomes Austen's newest leading lady. Soon to be a major BBC One TV series. 'Will delight Pride and Prejudice fans' Independent ‘Exceptional storytelling and a true delight’ Helen Simonson In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all. An introvert in a family of extroverts, having little in common with her siblings, and a constant disappointment to her mother, who values beauty above all else, is it any wonder she turns to books for company and guidance? There is, however, another side to Mary – and she must throw off the false expectations and prejudices that have come to obscure her true nature if she is ever to embrace happiness in her life. Both a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, The Other Bennet Sister is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel – and cheer – for Mary as you never have before. 'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' Jo Baker, Sunday Times bestselling author of Longbourn

A beautifully evocative historical novel about the perils of all-consuming love, inspired by a real-life eighteenth-century love affair, from the bestselling author of The Other Bennet Sister "Propriety of conduct was never my forte, so that if any lady chooses to make observations, they will always have enough to find fault with." England, 1794. Now in her thirties, Lady Harriet Bessborough, already the veteran of several liaisons, finds herself pursued by a much younger man. This isn't unusual in her circle, where married women often take younger lovers. No one minds much, provided they follow the rules of the game: Don't embarrass your husband, maintain complete discretion at all times, and never ever make the mistake of falling in love. So when Harriet meets Lord Granville--brilliantly handsome, insistently ardent, and twelve years younger than her--she's confident she can manage their affair. Until she finds herself falling uncontrollably under his spell. As she's plunged into an all-consuming passion, Harriet's worldliness and sophistication desert her. With each besotted step, she finds herself edging ever closer to exposure and ruin. She knows she should leave him but can't bring herself to do it--she loves him far too deeply now to escape the scandal that threatens to engulf her.

Inspired by an eighteenth-century love affair, Rules of the Heart is the story of a woman who thinks she understands the rules of the game - but ends by breaking them all. From the bestselling author of The Other Bennet Sister.

I Jane Austens Stolthed og Fordom er Mary den mellemste blandt de fem Bennet-piger, og hun er den kedeligste af dem alle, så hvilket håb har hun? Hun er ærbar og from, har ingen forsonende træk, er uelsket og tilsyneladende uelskelig. Den anden Bennet-søster viser dog en anden side af Mary. En introvert i en familie af udadvendte personer; en konstant skuffelse i morens øjne, som vægter skønhed over alt andet; bange for farens skarpe tunge; og uden meget tilfælles med de andre Bennet-søstre – er det overraskende, at hun tyer til bøgerne for både selskab og vejledning? At hun, når hun synes, hendes liv er ensomt eller mangelfuldt, beslutter sig for at stræbe efter den ene ting, hun ved, hun kan, nemlig at have ret? En efter en bliver hendes søstre gift – Jane og Lizzy af kærlighed; Lydia af agtværdighed – men Mary, synes det, er forudbestemt til at være alene og leve sit liv på Longbourn, i det mindste indtil hendes far dør, og huset testamenteres til den selvhøjtidelige Mr. Collins. Men da denne skæbnesvangre dag endelig kommer, opdager Mary lidt efter lidt, at der måske, trods alt, er håb for hende.

A NPR CONCIERGE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR "Jane fans rejoice . . . Exceptional storytelling and a true delight." --Helen Simonson, author of the New York Times bestselling novels Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and The Summer Before the WarMary, the bookish ugly duckling of Pride and Prejudice's five Bennet sisters, emerges from the shadows and transforms into a desired woman with choices of her own. What if Mary Bennet's life took a different path from that laid out for her in Pride and Prejudice? What if the frustrated intellectual of the Bennet family, the marginalized middle daughter, the plain girl who takes refuge in her books, eventually found the fulfillment enjoyed by her prettier, more confident sisters? This is the plot of Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister, a debut novel with exactly the affection and authority to satisfy Jane Austen fans. Ultimately, Mary's journey is like that taken by every Austen heroine. She learns that she can only expect joy when she has accepted who she really is. She must throw off the false expectations and wrong ideas that have combined to obscure her true nature and prevented her from what makes her happy. Only when she undergoes this evolution does she have a chance at finding fulfillment; only then does she have the clarity to recognize her partner when he presents himself--and only at that moment is she genuinely worthy of love. Mary's destiny diverges from that of her sisters. It does not involve broad acres or landed gentry. But it does include a man; and, as in all Austen novels, Mary must decide whether he is the truly the one for her. In The Other Bennet Sister, Mary is a fully rounded character--complex, conflicted, and often uncertain; but also vulnerable, supremely sympathetic, and ultimately the protagonist of an uncommonly satisfying debut novel.

An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father’s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings – is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance?

But when that fateful day finally comes, she slowly discovers that perhaps there is hope for her, after all.'It's difficult not to race through those final pages' – Jo Baker, author of LongbournWitty and uplifting, The Other Bennet Sister will make you feel – and cheer – for Mary as you never have before.
