Emma

The culmination of Jane Austen‘s genius, a sparkling comedy of love and marriage-now in a stunning 200th-anniversary Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Now a major motion picture starring Anya Taylor-Joy Beautiful, clever, rich-and single-Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage.
