Emma - Softcover

Emma is about the perils of misconstrued romance. As in her other novels, Austen explores the concerns and difficulties of young women and creates a lively comedy of manners among her characters. Her heroine in this novel is "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich." Emma loves to match people up in romance but greatly overestimates her own matchmaking abilities; and she is blind to the dangers of meddling in other people's lives and is often mistaken about the meanings of others' actions.
