Emma

Handsome, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse has never had much to distress or vex her — and she is entirely convinced she understands the hearts of everyone around her. Determined to see her new friend Harriet Smith well married, Emma sets about a campaign of matchmaking that proves far better at revealing her own blind spots than anyone else's future.

First published in 1815, Jane Austen's Emma is widely regarded as her most accomplished novel — a wickedly funny, quietly perceptive portrait of village society, self-deception, and the slow business of growing up.
