From the back cover:

"Emma represents the mature flowering of Jane Austen's singular genius. Set in a world the author made uniquely her own-the world of country gentry in Regency England-the novel centers upon a supremely self-assured young lady, determined to arrange her life and the lives of all around her into a pattern dictated by her romantic fancy. By turn intelligent and foolish, wreaking havoc with the best intentions, Miss Emma Woodhouse is a captivating embodiment of feminine contradiction, portrayed with the stylistic grace, the wit, and the wisdom that have ensured Jane Austen's continuing popularity. The book's resourceful narrative technique-with its masterly use of point of view and its skillful employment of the elements of mystery-makes it, in the words of Frank O'Connor, 'a delight and a flattery for the knowing type of reader.' Graham Hough writes: 'Emma has a good claim to be the most perfect of Jane Austen's novels, the one in which comedy and gravity, irony and sympathy, are most completely blended.'"

I'm taking this to a local meet-up. If no-one's interested, I'll leave it in the BC-shelf at Turku Mega -geocachingevent.

Found this book on a scout castle in an "open library". Not going to read it, but going to take it with me.
Saw it and it looked interesting, because I offered "Emma" to one of my friends, but she already read the book and had it in her shelf.

Best wishes for this small paperback!

set this book free in Winterfeldt - Schokolade (Cafe) at Winterfeldtplatz. it lives now next to some other papers.
