Publisher Description: Emma Woodhouse, at the age of twenty, has little to distress or vex her. Handsome, clever and rich, she believes that she has no need of marriage or love and is therefore free to manipulate the love-lives of those around her. As early as chapter 1 her father begs her, 'Do not make any more matches, ' but that does not deter her from picking up little Harriet Smith, 'the natural daughter of somebody', and giving her ideas above her station. It takes an old family friend, Mr George Knightley, to put a stop to all this, and in the way that Emma least expects. In the background a classic detective story is working itself out, enacted by perhaps the most memorable cast of characters that Jane Austen was ever to create. |
