Categories: General & literary fiction , Classic fiction

Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, "Emma" is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

I enjoyed Emma as the heroine filled the novel with her vivacious nature and kept the story interesting and lively all the way through. Also, I really liked the character of Emma despite her faults as she came across as a real person.
