Book summary

In an English village, Emma Woodhouse, young, beautiful, rich and sure of herself, amuses herself by arranging other people's marriages. She takes under her wing Harriet, a young woman with no fortune, and decides to find her a husband in her own way. But Emma reads hearts badly, starting with her own.

A comedy full of misunderstandings, in which Jane Austen gently mocks her heroine, and we laugh at her mistakes before recognising ourselves in them.

Its witty dialogue is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

年轻女子一心为闺蜜牵红线。“爱玛·伍德豪斯美丽、聪明又富有,似乎集人生的几大福分于一身。”。
