This Pride & Prejudice retelling brings New York Times bestselling Sayantani DasGupta’s trademark wit and insight to her bright and funny YA debut!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Leela Bose plays to win.
A life-long speech competitor, Leela loves nothing more than crushing the competition, all while wearing a smile. But when she meets the incorrigible Firoze Darcy, a debater from an elitist private school, Leela can’t stand him. Unfortunately, he’ll be competing in the state league, so their paths are set to collide.
But why attempt to tolerate Firoze when Leela can one-up him? The situation is more complicated than Leela anticipated, though, and her participation in the tournament reveals that she might have tragically misjudged the debaters -- including Firoze Darcy -- and more than just her own winning streak is at stake…her heart is, too.
Debating Darcy
is bestselling author Sayantani DasGupta’s reinterpretation of beloved classic Pride and Prejudice -- imaginative, hilarious, thought-provoking, and truly reflective of the complex, diverse world of American high school culture.
For anyone that knows me–you know I love all things Jane Austen. So, whenever there’s a retelling, I MUST have it! This one is a YA version that sounds so entertaining!
Have you ever read a Jane Austen retelling??
I do love Austensque retellings and the title of this one sounds so adorable.
I enjoy Austen retellings, even if I’ve only actually read one book by her, I’ve watched a lot of the movies and know the stories. And this one not only sounds really cute, I adore the way the cover is both drawn and an actual picture combined. Thanks for sharing this! I’ll have to add to my TBR.
