Descrizione
The irrepressible Emma is restless...
And Mr. Knightley's apparently endless patience is tried, not only by her strong mind and high spirits but also by the problems of his brother John and the return of a widowed Frank Churchill.
After a year of marriage, Emma wants Knightley to stop treating her like a child. Knightley meanwhile wants his young bride to love him as a husband, not as the man she's always looked up to. With tragedy in the offing, and events unfolding that include beloved characters from Jane Austen's Emma, the couple must find their way to each other, and to perfect happiness.
With a wonderful grasp of the manners and style of the day, this warm and witty exploration of a marriage between a young country heiress and the man who adores her fulfills the romantic longings of Jane Austen lovers everywhere.
