Why read it

For readers who enjoy a well-built comedy and would like to glance in the mirror along the way: Emma resembles anyone who thinks they know what is best for others. It shows, with humour, the worth of apologizing and of being grateful to those who correct us with affection.

Summary

Emma Woodhouse, young, rich and sure of her good eye, spends her time matchmaking in the village of Highbury. Her mistakes, sometimes funny and sometimes hurtful, force her to know herself better. A comedy of errors about vanity, friendship and the hard art of seeing clearly.

Quotes

It is very difficult for the prosperous to be humble.
If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.
One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other.
