EMMA

"Emma Woodhouse was beautiful, clever, and rich. She lived sixteen miles from London in the village of Highbury and at nearly twenty-one years old she thought her life was perfect. But nothing stays the same forever and even the most perfect life must sometimes change." (p.1)

    This is a story about a young lady's road to mature to growth. Her name is Emma.  She likes to arrange marriages between her friends and neighbors in the village of Highbury. However, Emma makes a lot of mistakes and causes more problems than happy marriages. 

Since Emma puts her happiness and love aside and tries to arrange other's marriages,  she almost loses her chance of love.

 The ending was amusing. I don't tell you the ending so that you can enjoy reading this book.  Emma is a bossy and selfish person at first, but at the end of the story, she grew a bit than the beginning of the story. You might be able to see that she changed a bit compared to the beginning.
