EMMA by Jane Austen [Paperback]

Emma by Jane Austen follows Emma Woodhouse, an intelligent, wealthy, and self-confident young woman who enjoys playing matchmaker but fails to recognize her own romantic feelings and limitations. When she interferes in the love life of her young friend Harriet Smith, her misguided assumptions and meddling lead to a series of amusing complications. Through Emma’s journey toward self-awareness, Austen offers a witty critique of class, marriage, social expectations, and the rigid social structure of eighteenth-century England.
