Emma e-bog

"e;I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like,"e; declared Jane Austen when she wrote Emma. But it turns out that readers loved Emma Woodhouse, a handsome, clever, and rich young lady who enjoys meddling in others lives--until she nearly makes a mess of her own. Austens pointed look at romantic mishaps and matchmaking, social status in the Georgian age, and the importance of simple human kindness remains a joy to read.
