Beautiful, clever, and rich, Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her single life and sees no need for either love or marriage.

But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend, Mr. Knightley, and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée, Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.
