Description
Book Synopsis
The real evils, indeed, of Emma's situation were the power of having rather too much her own way, and a disposition to think a little too well of herself.
Emma is young, rich and independent. She has decided not to get married and instead spends her time organizing her acquaintances' love affairs. Her plans for the matrimonial success of her new friend Harriet, however, lead her into complications that ultimately test her own detachment from the world of romance.
Review Quotes
Whatever age you are, Austen has something for you. I would go further, in fact, to assert that a reader never comes away from an Austen novel empty-handed--Joanna Trollope That young lady has a talent for describing the involvements of feelings and characters of ordinary life which is to me the most wonderful I ever met with-- I'd like to write a play as perfect as Emma-- Austen's characters are unquestionably one key to her greatness. Her understanding of the human heart is forensic and also frosted with the necessary detachment that gives deeper meaning to her rendering of human frailty--Guardian It is the cleverest of books. I especially love the dialogue - every speech reveals the characters' obsessions and preoccupations, yet it remains perfectly natural...absolutely gripping-- Jane Austen is my favourite author! Shut up in measureless content, I greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers-- Who needs eReaders when book publishers are repackaging classic tales in beautiful covers like these? ... Perfect for fans of the author--Bella Beautifully designed... Perfect collectable gift for Austen fans and design devotees--So Darling These might be the loveliest editions of Jane Austen's novels we've seen in a long time--A Little Bird (blog)
