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.

But as the village of Highbury welcomes new arrivals and long-awaited visitors, beneath its polite society, not everything is quite as it seems...

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?
