The smart and attractive Emma Woodhouse, flatters herself that she alone has achieved the marriageable gift and that she has a special ability for bringing lovers together when her former governess finds happiness as the bride of a local widower. In this dazzling comedy of English-village romance, the young heiress then busies herself with finding a suitable spouse for her friend and protege, Harriet Smith. This sets off a delightful series of hilarious mistakes and misunderstandings. The work also tells the tale of a young woman's journey toward self-awareness through its tremendous wit.
Emma is replete with the witty character. The Regency-era village of Highbury is home to an entertaining group of friends and family.
This story of provincial matchmaking is elevated to the heights of sparkling satire by the author's talent for realistically and affectionately capturing the vanities of human nature.
