The book's title character, Emma Woodhouse, is radiant in her beauty, bright in her intellect, but still ignorant in her youth. After the marriage of her governess to a widower, she mistakenly attributes the happy union to herself alone. Believing she is a gifted matchmaker, she attempts to find a suitable husband for her friend, Harriet Smith, which gives way to a comical series of errors. Despite the comic brilliance of the novel, what shines beneath is Emma's journey towards finding herself, growing from a young heiress into a mature woman.

As with many Austen works, the characters are formidable. Alongside Emma is her father, a somewhat paranoid, but still likeable man. The setting of Highbury includes an amusing cast: Miss Bates, a talkative seamstress; Mr. Elton, an ambitious minister; Frank Churchill, a lover of sorts; Mr. Knightley, Emma's brother-in-law and her voice of reason; and other unique characters that are not easily forgotten.

Austen's skillful storytelling takes a tale of an imprudent young girl's romantic pursuits and transforms it into a satirical bildungsroman. Emma is a tale that first delighted readers when it was released in 1816, and its acclaim has only risen, as each generation seems to appreciate Austen's brilliance even more than the last.
