Matchmaking and Second Chances

Jane Austen's wittiest heroine and her most tender love story, from the last years of her life.

Emma follows Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, who is sure she knows what is best for everyone around her, until her matchmaking goes spectacularly wrong. Persuasion, the last novel Austen completed, is the story of Anne Elliot, who was persuaded to break off her engagement eight years ago and now meets her lost love again.

One sparkling comedy and one deeply moving romance, showing Austen at the height of her powers.
