Emma Woodhouse is clever, charming, and almost entirely wrong about everything.
Convinced she has an exceptional gift for matchmaking, Emma takes the sweet and impressionable Harriet Smith under her wing and sets about finding her a suitable husband. The results are, to put it generously, catastrophic. As Emma schemes and meddles her way through Highbury’s drawing rooms, she manages to misread every heart in the village — most disastrously, her own. Witty, warm, and written with matchless irony, Emma is Austen at her most mischievous.
