Emma is about the life of a beautiful, clever and rich woman of twenty-one, who lives with her father in their huge estate. The wealthy, and somewhat spoilt Emma Woodhouse has no interest in falling in love or getting married, but finds pleasure in trying to make romantic matches for her friends. After the successful union of Miss Taylor, her long time governess and friend, with Mr Weston, she takes young Harriet Smith under her wing, the next target of her matchmaking schemes. Mr Knightley, a trusted friend of the Wood houses, is the only one who criticizes her and advises whenever necessary, but the naïve Emma has a long way to go before she realises the consequences of her actions as a self-proclaimed matchmaker. The story follows Emma’s journey through all her meddling and how she discovers a lot about herself and about an unrealised love!
