EMMA

by Jane Austen

Overview

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk and show it more."

In the world of Emma, love, self-discovery, and matchmaking intertwine in a charming countryside town. Emma is Austen's most vivid heroine: beautiful, spoilt, generous, and exceptionally witty. While caring for her demanding father, life in the quaint town becomes tiresome. Seeking amusement, Emma immerses herself in the art of matchmaking, set to unite her orphaned friend, Harriet Smith with the eligible clergyman Mr. Elton.

However, her astute neighbour, Mr. Knightley calls her out for seeking her own interest and not her friend's. Both Emma and Mr. Knightly are attracted to one another, primarily because only they can match each other's wit and intelligence.

Emma's path towards maturity and self-awareness is a poignant story. A captivating exploration of personal growth, as she navigates the consequences of her meddling.

About the Author

Jane Austen (1775–1817) was an English author known primarily for her six major novels set among the British landed gentry at the end of the 18th century. Considered defining works of the Regency Era and counted among the best–loved classics of English literature, Austen's books include Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Persuasion. The latter two were published after her death. "I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." – Jane Austen
