About this book
Emma, a lovely comedy of manners, follows Emma Woodhouse, a smart, confident young woman who enjoys matchmaking but doesn't want to marry.
Emma's well-intentioned actions in Highbury's close-knit society produce misunderstandings, misguided romances, and subtle emotional issues. Emma's well-planned strategy fails, revealing her flaws, assumptions, and blind spots. Jane Austen writes a novel on self-discovery, social rank, and the difference between good intentions and understanding using wit, irony, and psychological insight.
