A tangled web of courtship, a disastrous picnic, and a heart finally awakened.
In the sweeping final volume of Jane Austen's brilliant social comedy, the tranquil village of Highbury is turned upside down. Emma Woodhouse—handsome, clever, and rich—has spent her days orchestrating the romantic lives of her neighbors, certain of her own unfailing judgment. But as the enigmatic Frank Churchill returns and Jane Fairfax's secrets threaten to surface, Emma's perfectly arranged world begins to unravel.
Following a fateful excursion to Box Hill and a stinging rebuke from the honorable Mr. Knightley, Emma must confront the most terrifying truth of all: the blindness of her own heart. Surrounded by the whispers of polite society, a terrifying encounter with local vagabonds, and a shocking revelation of unexpected love, Emma is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about romance. Will her stubborn pride cost her the one genuine love she never saw coming?
