Review:
"I should like to see Emma in love, and in some doubt of return; it would do her good," remarks one of Jane Austen's characters in Emma.
Review:
Quick-witted, beautiful, headstrong and rich, Emma Woodhouse is inordinately fond of match-making select inhabitants of the village of Highbury, yet aloof and oblivious as to the question of whom she herself might marry. This paradox multiplies the intrigues and sparkling ironies of Jane Austen's masterpiece, her comedy of a sentimental education through which Emma discovers a capacity for love and marriage.
Praise for Emma:
‘Entertaining . . . McCall Smith brings such intelligence and wit’ The Daily Mail
‘Funny, heartfelt and very readable’ Good Housekeeping
‘Funny and clever’ Fabulous Magazine
‘Delightful’ Closer
Praise for Alexander McCall Smith:
‘Witty, elegant, gentle, compassionate’
Guardian
‘The kind of simplicity one finds in the best children's stories and a fluency which reflects his practice of writing 4,000 words a day in a stint of four hours... A talent for traditional story telling’ Guardian
