About The Book
Emma is young, rich and independent. She has decided not to get married and instead spends her time organising her acquaintances’ love affairs.
Her plans for the matrimonial success of her new friend Harriet, however, lead her into complications that ultimately test her own detachment from the world of romance.

Jane Austen was an English novelist known primarily for her six novels, which implicitly interpret, critique, and comment on the English landed gentry at the end of the 18th century.
