I absolutely loved “Emma.” Emma is such a likable yet a lot of times unlikeable character. Her entourage cast is also interesting, my favorites being Harriet and Mr. Knightley. This book has great commentary on marriage, gentility, and class prejudices. I love the matchmaking being done, although I found it incredibly straight forward whom will marry whom by the end of the book. The ending, like the other Austen novels I’ve read, is unfortunately unsatisfactory. Overall, a great enjoyable classical read.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
