Descripción editorial
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.

Chick flick!
Like all Jane Austen, it's basically a chick flick, a heroine who is completely clueless about a man loving her and her loving him in return. It's quite slow at the start, and honestly don't know why the whole beginning of the book we're reading about a character who ultimately is of non importance whatsoever. Anyways if you're a girly girl, and don't mind seeing the same plot over and over again thoughtout Austen's literature, read it!!! You'll enjoy it as much as daytime tv.
