From Little Stack
Pride & Prejudice is transported to a modern day high school – the ton of our times! – and the hot-headed world of debating. Leela Bose is a speech competitor who hates to lose. But she meets her match in the form of Firoze Darcy, a debater from an elitist private school. It's hate at first sight, and she wants to win. But the situation grows more complicated as she realises that there's more than meets the eye to the incorrigible Darcy. As they compete for the state championships, both Leela and Firoze will, most ardently, fight for the prize. Spoiler: it’s not a trophy!
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.
