Emma

Always the matchmmaker, Emma has arranged successful relationships among her friends and acquaintances time and time again, but when she must find her own mate, she soon discovers unanticipated inadequacies in her romantic capacities. The bulk of Emma, widely regarded as the most accomplished of Jane Austen’s six novels, is the story of how Emma learns to seize true love. Noted for its understatement and irony, Austen’s honest yet gentle prose is expertly handled by AudioFile Earphones Award winner Prunella Scales.
