Has very mild edge wear with some light creasing and a small nick to the bottom front corner.Ī lovely book for fans of Jane Austen wanting more to explore. With some very light scuffs to the surface which can only really be seen by holding the book right up to the light. It has been price clipped and there is some mild tanning along the top on the inside. The dust jacket has also fared well, with a little bit of wear. This copy has not been written in and there are no other markings of previous ownership. The pages have some tanning along the top edge and mild spotting to all three edges. Inside the contents are good with the pages being clean, bright and tightly bound. Perhaps, disastrously, she is but the object of her desires cannot be said to be suitable to Highbury - or to Mr Knightley - at all." And, most disconcertingly of all, we are led to ponder the meaning of Mr Knightley's statement, early on in Emma, that he would like to 'see Emma in love'. Just as a marriage is announced, strange evidence of a very different past begins to emerge. John Knightley is introduced and begins to fall in love. Her dresses are more elegant her accomplishments far superior to anything Highbury has ever seen. She is intriguing and romantic as only a beautiful young Frenchwoman can be. It is now 1815, and Eliza is 20 years old. Her parents, the Comte and Comtesse d'Arblay, fled the French Revolution in 1795. So when a fascinating young woman enters Highbury society, Emma sees at last a golden opportunity. John Knightley - her brother-in-law, poor widowed John - is in need of a wife and stepmother to his numerous family. But this time Emma is playing for dangerously high stakes.
To amuse herself, Emma decides to take up matchmaking again, whether her husband will have it or no. Mr Knightley is affectionate but he is in reality an old friend, who has, in his own words, 'lectured and blamed' Emma, sixteen years younger than he, all her life.
There may be harmony between them but Emma is frankly bored. This is the story of Emma two years after she has married Mr Knightley.
