Emma

Jane Austen

Summary

Jane Austen's wittiest novel, brought to life in a whole new way.

Emma Woodhouse is handsome, clever, and rich - and she knows it. She has never had to worry about money, never had to worry about marriage, and never had to worry much about being wrong. Which is unfortunate, because she is wrong about almost everything that matters in this story.

Emma appoints herself matchmaker to everyone around her and proceeds to meddle in the romantic lives of her neighbors with tremendous confidence and genuinely terrible judgment. The results are funny, occasionally painful, and completely human. Austen builds her comedy carefully - every misunderstanding earns its place, every revelation reframes everything that came before it, and by the time Emma finally sees clearly it feels both surprising and completely inevitable.

What makes Emma remarkable is the narrative technique. Austen tells the story almost entirely from inside Emma's perspective - which means the reader is often just as wrong as Emma is, and the moment of clarity hits twice as hard when it comes.

Widely considered Austen's most technically accomplished novel. Also her funniest.
