Dignity & Disgrace: A Pride & Prejudice Retelling

Can Love Conquer Time?

Delilah Sutton is an ordinary, broke college student, with few friends and uncertain plans for the future. When she receives an invitation to her cousin’s wedding, she travels to England to rekindle a relationship with the only family she has left. It is there that her life takes a dramatic turn, and she time travels not only to the past, but to the fictitious world of Pride and Prejudice.

Despite longing to return home and constantly struggling to hide her true identity, Delilah finds herself drawn in by this new life, Regency customs, and the unexplored sides of Jane Austen’s classic characters. Inevitably, Delilah begins living out a story all her own, weaving webs of lies, and falling for history’s most judgmental nobleman: Fitzwilliam Darcy.

While an accident of time has brought them together, it may also be the thing that tears them apart. Dignity & Disgrace collides past and present, entwining reality with fiction; a page-turning reimagining that examines the sacrifices one must make for happiness, and determines if love can transcend centuries.

This is the first book in a series, a sequel novel is coming soon.

Dignity & Disgrace is the debut novel from author Joy Myron. Myron found inspiration for this retelling from the classic Jane Austen novel, as well as from historical romances and modern movie adaptations. Looking to make the world of Regency love stories accessible to a broader audience, Myron aspired to create a unique perspective into Pride & Prejudice that can be appreciated by fans of time travel stories, historical romances, young and new adult books, and fan fiction. This is the first novel in the Falling into Austen Series, with a sequel book coming soon.
