Emma

Emma by Jane Austen
Published in 1815, Emma is a sparkling comedy of manners that follows the life of Emma Woodhouse—intelligent, wealthy, and confident—who believes she knows best when it comes to love and matchmaking.

Set in the genteel English village of Highbury, the novel explores the social intricacies of the early 19th-century upper class. Through romantic misunderstandings and unexpected revelations, Emma offers a sharp and humorous portrait of youthful pride, personal growth, and the challenges of truly understanding oneself and others.

With her characteristic wit and keen insight, Austen captures both the charm and the complexity of a world where appearances, class, and intentions often clash.
