“Time did not compose her. As she reflected more, she seemed to feel it more.”
Emma was such a bittersweet read for me, because although it was by far my favorite Austen novel, it was also my last time experiencing the joy of her words for the first time. I am very greatful for the reader, and person, I have developed into because of Jane Austen.
Emma is not only a beautiful, gentle love story (albeit with a few flaws of age), but also a whipsmart telling of growing up. The gossip, humor, and absolute blunders that the characters made were so much fun to read. I would highly, highly recommend!
