Publisher Description
An Apple Books Classic edition.
Emma Woodhouse may just be Jane Austen’s most controversial character. Some see her as a spoiled narcissist who’s deluded about reality, while others view her as a well-intentioned and bitingly sarcastic young woman who matures before our eyes.
This well-loved novel-which is often adapted for the screen-is set in the early 19th century, among England’s landed gentry. After seeing her governess happily married, Emma decides she is a natural matchmaker and devises a plan to find her new friend Harriet a mate. What follows has all the makings of a contemporary soap opera. As usual, Austen portrays her contemporaries with a brilliant and subtle snark. Emma is a wonderfully entertaining read.

Enjoyable
This book is really interesting and enjoyable.
Emma
The book is great for readers with a lot in hope! This book delicately shows the character of Emma, who adores her father and decides to remain a celibate for the rest of her life. The characters, all except Mr.Knightly, revolve around Emma without tarnishing the goodwill she builds for herself from the reader.
The twist in the story at the end is something to look for.
Jane Austen had as usual done an excellent balance of love, anxiety, jealousy, disappointment and moral. This book does justice to the love required by the parents from their children and the duty of the children to their parents.
For a reader looking for something fresh and newly dusted from the cobwebs, this romance fiction is a must......
