New author Kinga Brady is thrilled to announce the release of her third novel, Passion and Persistence, a captivating reimagining of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that breathes new life into one of the most beloved romances in literary history. In this bold and thought-provoking retelling, Brady explores a “what if” scenario that asks: What if Mr. Darcy, rather than retreating after Elizabeth Bennet’s rejection, continued his pursuit with renewed insight and humility?
Passion and Persistence presents readers with an expanded view of Darcy and Elizabeth’s world, adding new layers of depth and character development that make their love story feel fresh and modern. As Darcy learns from his missteps and Elizabeth grapples with her own biases, the two embark on a journey of personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery set against the lush backdrops of Regency England.
“I wanted to explore how resilience in love can challenge us to grow,” says Kinga Brady. “This book isn’t just a reimagining; it’s about two people who must confront their pride and prejudice to see each other clearly, opening a dialogue about patience, humility, and what it really means to pursue a meaningful connection.”
In Passion and Persistence, Darcy’s unrelenting determination to win Elizabeth’s heart brings him face to face with the expectations of family, the rigid social structures of the time, and his own personal flaws. Elizabeth, in turn, must navigate her family’s expectations and her own insecurities, ultimately realising that she may have misjudged Darcy’s character. Brady’s masterful storytelling breathes fresh life into this cherished tale, offering readers a deeper dive into the classic themes of love, pride, and redemption.
Since its release, Passion and Persistence has already garnered praise from early readers for its rich language, nuanced character portrayals, and respect for Austen’s original work. “This is Pride and Prejudice as you’ve never seen it before,” says one reader, “a story that honours the classic while giving us a renewed sense of Darcy and Elizabeth’s timeless romance.”
Kinga Brady invites both longtime Austen fans and newcomers to Regency romance to experience this exciting new take on Pride and Prejudice, one that promises to surprise, engage, and inspire readers of all ages. Passion and Persistence is available now at major booksellers and online.
