Advantages: great story

Disadvantages: a bit long winded

This book was first published back in 1816, i read this book after my mother was raving about how good it was but it didnt have the same effect on me, i found it long winded and boring at points.

Ok so the story goes, Emma is a young woman living in an upper class society in england who gets pleasure from matchmaking.

Emma trys her hand at matchmaking with her friends Harriet and mr elton. Firstly Emma has to convince Harriet to refuse a marriage proposal from a local farmer which doesnt take too much work as Harriet isnt too bright, this done Emma now needs to get Harriet and mr Elton together but this poses a bit more of a chalenge as Mr Elton decides he wants to marry Emma not Harriot as he sees Harriet as being beneith him in sociey.

After Emma refuses his proposal of marriage Mr Elton goes away on holliday for a while and returns with his new bride leaving Harriet heartbroken and Emma to pick up the pieces.

Emma tries to make herself fall in love with frank as everyone thinks they would make a great couple but Emma decides frank would be better suited to Harriet.

Will Harriet marry frank and live happily ever after and will Emma find true love of her own?
You will have to read the book to find out.

There are some very good pieces in this book and some very boring sections to the book aswell, if you like soppy romances as my mother does then this is definatley the book for you.

Summary: Well worth a read if you are into romantic fiction
