Emma was composed between January 1814 and March 1815, and distributed in 1815. The title character, Emma Woodhouse, is sovereign of her little local area. She is wonderful and affluent. She has no mother; her particular, delicate dad forces no checks on either her way of behaving or her smugness. Every other person in the town is respectfully lower in friendly standing. Just Mr. Knightley, an old family companion, at any point proposes she wants improvement. Emma has a preference for matchmaking. At the point when she meets pretty Harriet Smith, "the normal little girl of someone," Emma takes her up as both a companion and a reason. Under Emma's bearing, Harriet denies a proposition from a nearby rancher, Robert Martin, so Emma can design one from Mr. Elton, the vicar. Unfortunately, Mr. Elton misjudges the interests and accepts Emma is keen on him for herself. He can't be brought down to think about Harriet Smith. Things are additionally shaken by the re-visitation of the town by Jane Fairfax, niece to the talkative Miss Bates; and by a visit from Frank Churchill, stepson of Emma's ex-tutor. He and Jane are subtly drawn in, however as nobody knows this, it no affects the matchmaking free for all. The couples are ultimately figured out, if not as per Emma's arrangement, essentially agreeable to her. Uninterested in marriage at the book's beginning, she cheerfully connects with herself to Mr. Knightly before its end

It is very deceiving to show this book as a collectable and pink and it arrives dark blue with nothing on the cover.

The edition I got was beautiful
The edition I got was blue leather and in beautiful shape. The pages were slightly yellowed but the book was so inexpensive that the shipping actually cost more than the book. It is a classic and it arrived early.

Pure enjoyment
This is Pride and Prejudice's match (a hair less perfect but with its own delights), one with as entertaining a cast of characters, a heroine and hero with whom one is fully engaged, a fun and never too serious plot.
I recall that Jane Austen wrote something about Emma being a heroine that no one else would like. I always found Emma easy to like - for someone spoiled by too much admiration, she's very generous and well-intentioned.
And Mr. Knightly may be Austen's finest hero.

Wonderful
Emma is a great book. Like someone stated earlier keeping up with characters is a major detail and possibly having a notepad writing down who is who and what they do wouldn't be such a bad idea. Emma is just a hopeless romantic wanting to help everyone else but never herself. I really enjoyed this book.

Finally!!
After many attempts at reading Pride and Prejudice and never finishing, I have finally read one of Austen's novels. I recently saw the movie version of the Jane Austen Book Club and got caught up in these characters love for Austen. She is so popular and yet as much as I love reading was never able to get through her most popular work. So I decided to follow the sequence they used in the movie and ordered all 6 novels. Well, I just got through reading Emma and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this. Although not much really happens in the novel, the characters are so alive and you get so caught up in their lives that it was difficult to put the book down. Another thing I found very rewarding is how at the end of the novel there are no loose ends. I can't wait to go on the Sense and Sensibility next!!
