This Pride & Prejudice<\/em> retelling brings New York Times<\/em> bestselling Sayantani DasGupta\u2019s trademark wit and insight to her bright and funny YA debut!<\/p>\n

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Leela Bose plays to win.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t stand him. Unfortunately, he\u2019ll be competing in the state league, so their paths are set to collide.<\/p>\n

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\u2026her heart is, too.<\/p>\n

Debating Darcy is bestselling author Sayantani DasGupta\u2019s reinterpretation of beloved classic Pride and Prejudice — imaginative, hilarious, thought-provoking, and truly reflective of the complex, diverse world of American high school culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
