    Emma Part 1

    Emma Woodhouse has every reason to think herself fortunate. Handsome, clever, and rich, she has little to wish for - and even less to occupy her. Having just celebrated the marriage of her beloved governess, Miss Taylor, Emma begins to suspect she has a talent for matchmaking.

    Will Emma's confidence in her own judgement lead her astray? Will she ever heed the warnings of her trusted friend, Mr Knightley? And will anything - or anyone - dislodge our heroine's firm determination never to marry?
