Emma

1815 promises to be another eventful holiday season for clever Miss Emma Woodhouse. Highbury’s most charming- if somewhat meddlesome- young lady is once again indulging in her favorite pastime: matchmaking. With a most inconvenient interest in everyone else’s affairs, this author wonders– will her schemes lead to love or disaster? As snow falls and hearts flutter, one truth remains universally acknowledged: not even the lovely Emma Woodhouse is immune to the unpredictable arrows of Cupid.
