I never have been in love it is not my way, or my nature and I do not think I ever shall Beautiful, clever, rich and single Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage Nothing, however, delights her than interfering in the romantic lives of others But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen s most flawless work.This edition includes a new chronology and additional suggestions for further reading.

had I not been convinced that you dislike her eventhan I do For I can at least accept some of her conceited ignorance as a direct effect of the prejudice of her era, whereas you had to deal with her as a contemporary It hardly helped at all that you gave her an antagonist in Mrs Elton who exceeded Emma s vanity and narcissism.I struggle to find anything justifiable in the lifestyle...I may have lost my heart, but not my self control Personally, I may have lost my self control, but not my heart.My motivation to read this book stemmed from J.K Rowling stating that this was one of her favourite
