Emma
Jane Austen
“Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her.”

Emma’s chief pleasure in life is arranging the lives Of her friends.

Having engineered the marriage of her governess, she now turns her attention towards making a match for Mr Elton, the local vicar and her new protégé Harriet Smith. Her one voice of reason and restraint is Mr Knightly, who has known her since she was a child. He watches her with wry amusement, a critical eye and an ever growing admiration…

"I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like." JANE AUSTEN
