About this listen
‘It's comfort reading at its most soothing’ Independent
‘Funny, heartfelt and very readable’ Good Housekeeping
In this reimagined modern classic, prepare to meet a young woman who thinks she knows everything…
Fresh from university, Emma Woodhouse triumphantly arrives home in Norfolk ready to embark on adult life with a splash. Not only has her sister, Isabella, been whisked away on a motorcycle up to London, but her astute governess, Miss Taylor is at a loose end, abandoned in the giant family pile, Hartfield, alongside Emma’s anxiety-ridden father. Someone is needed to rule the roost and young Emma is more than happy to oblige.
And there is plenty to delight her in the buzzing little village of Highbury. At the helm of her own dinner parties and instructing her new little protégée, Harriet Smith, Emma reigns forth. But there is only one person who can play with Emma’s indestructible confidence, her old friend and inscrutable neighbour George Knightley – this time has Emma finally met her match?

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

Love Jane Austen and Alexander McCall Smith
I love both the inspiration book and this books writer but I have to say I couldn’t finish this book. McCall Smith depicted Emma as this incredibly shallow, manipulative, and unfeeling person. She was so unlikeable that I couldn’t continue reading. I’m sad that both the books in this remake series this and the pride and prejudice ones were but DNF’s for me. They brought out the worst in all the characters and made the books unlikeable with out having any of the wit and sparkle that makes Austin Austin.
