Emma

<p><strong>A fascinating, humorous, and timeless coming-of-age tale featuring one of Jane Austen's most memorable characters.<br /></strong><br /><em>"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition&hellip;had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her."</em><br /><br />The celebrated opening of Jane Austen's <em>Emma</em> introduces readers to a supremely self-assured young woman who believes herself immune to romance. By turns brilliant and foolish, self-aware and self-deluding, Emma "leaps from error to error," writes Margaret Drabble in her incisive Introduction, wreaking comic havoc in the lives of those around her with well-meant and ill-fated attempts at matchmaking.&nbsp;<br /><br />The mature flowering of Austen's singular and prolific genius, <em>Emma</em> is a fascinating, hilarious, and timeless coming-of-age tale&mdash;the compelling story of a woman seeking her true nature and finding true love in the process.</p> <p><strong>With an Introduction by Margaret Drabble</strong><br /><strong>and an Afterword by Sabrina Jeffries </strong></p>
