- Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life & 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 & attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith her carefully laid plans soon unravel & have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine & its witty & subtle exploration of relationships Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.
