Sinopse

Emma is one of the famous novels by Jane Austen and was first published in 1816.

Unlike most of the other female protagonists in Austen´s novels the heroine Emma Woodhouse shows no real romantic interest in men. Instead of getting involved into a relationship herself she prefers meddling in other people´s lives. She is absolutely self-satisfied, although the conclusions of her imagination and perceptions often lead her astray. But finally, it comes to her self-revelation concerning her own true affections.

“I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” (Jane Austen)

Emma is one of the best-loved and essential classics in English literature. Like Austen´s other novels it retains a fascination for modern readers, and has been adapted for several films as well as for a long list of dramatic plays. Some critics place this novel even higher than Austen´s masterpiece Pride and Prejudice.

    Description:
    Josie Yarrow was first in her class, the perfect daughter, the heiress everyone admired. She was also being beaten with a switch every time her grades slipped, and seated every day beside the half-sister who was living proof of her father's betrayal.
    
    The night she hid behind a wall to smoke her first cigarette, the worst boy in school found her and laughed. If you don't know how to inhale, don't bother.
    
    Silas Quinn had nothing — no parents, no future, a secret he'd carried since he was thirteen. What he had was a school jacket he didn't need and a wall he could get her over.
    
    Seven years later, his name comes across her desk on an application for a security guard position.
    
    He doesn't dare look up at her. He has no idea she recognized him instantly.
