Emma: A Modern Retelling by Alexander McCall Smith

2.0

I'm not sure which Emma Smith read but it wasn't Austen's. As an OOC fanfic it's not bad, but the story spends an inordinate amount of time in Mr. Woodhouse's point of view before switching to Emma's. The Emma character is awful (as she should be) but with no redeeming qualities or hard-won lessons. Also Knightley is hardly even present and their relationship is basically ignored. Decent writing but all in all a very poor adaptation.
