5.0

Charming as always, this was a reread and I remember Emma being the first of Austen's books that I ever read. They really do feel timeless in how authentic the characters feel. 

I will say a bit of racism with having Romani ppl scare Harriet but also how accurate it was in terms of how the Romani do nothing to actually deserve being hated was darkly funny. It's literally just children begging and a full grown woman is fainting and acting like she's going to be killed 🙄
