“I'm a big Austen fan, but I had never read "Emma." I can't say that I liked it as much as other works of hers, but Emma has redeemable qualities. She can admit when she's at fault ... eventually, anyway.
Austen's knack at placing no-nonsense characters (here, Mr. Knightley) in juxtaposition with Victorian foppery is what really pulls me in. His ability to see through the foolishness and call Emma out is worth a recommendation alone!”
