Emma
by Jane Austen
with an introduction by Kerry van der Vinne
“My dear, pray do not make any more matches. They are silly things, and break up one’s family circle grievously!”
EMMA WOODHOUSE has a great enthusiasm for match-making. Having recently married off her own governess, she sets her sights on the next candidates she wishes to coax into matrimony—under the critical eye of her friend and neighbour Mr. Knightley. Meanwhile, the long-absent Frank Churchill returns to the village of Highbury, prompting general curiosity and speculation. But will Emma’s errors of judgement threaten her own chance at love?
JANE AUSTEN (best known for writing Pride and Prejudice) continues to delight readers with her witty and perceptive take on the role of women and class in late eighteenth century British society. In recent years her novels have been adapted and reinterpreted for film and television many times.
