Emma by Jane Austen: Book Review

Emma (Penguin Classics)
Jane Austen

 

Spoiled, beautiful and rich, Emma Woodhouse is a well-intentioned but deeply flawed heroine, whose journey from social snob and meddling busybody to self-recognition and repentance forms the basis of Jane Austen’s most perfectly constructed novel.

With characters that positively leap off the pages and a plot to rival the most intricately-plotted detective story, Jane Austen has produced a masterpiece of finesse, wit and subtlety.

One of literature’s funniest, wisest, most joyful classics.

Pride and Prejudice (Vintage Classics)
Jane Austen

 

Jane Austen’s perfect romantic comedy positively sparkles with wit and sophistication. Every sentence is impeccably crafted and every character masterfully painted in this classic comic masterpiece of mistaken impressions. The fortunes of the charming Elizabeth Bennett and the haughty Mr Darcy have enchanted readers since the day Pride and Prejudice was published, and will undoubtedly continue to do so for generations to come.
