While I loved the premise (Emma wants to be treated as a wife, not a spoiled child, and Mr. Knightley wants to be treated as a husband not an older brother) too many details were wrong and too many characters seemed to act contrary to who they were. The author also made many mistakes throughout the book, the prime example Mrs. Elton's sister was Selina Suckling, but through the middle of the book she was Serena. The Woodhouse cook was named Serle in Jane Austen's book, but in Ms. Billington's the cook's name was Sterne. Beyond the mistakes, I felt this book was so dark, everyone slowly sinking further and further into a mire that it was difficult to ever hope for happiness for anyone. [Spoiler Alert] I also feel that the character of Mr. Woodhouse, in which Jane Austen expresses surprise at his ever having married before, would never enter into the marriage state again, no matter how much his comfort was at stake.

Ist eine (nicht zu einer Reihe gehörende) Fortsetzung vonEmma von Jane Austen
" ... the wishes, the hopes, the confidence, the predictions of the small band of true friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union." Thus the last line of Jane Austen's Emma. A year later, Emma and Knightley are still living at Hartfield, surrounded by the Westons, the Eltons and the Bateses. But as events unfold, the couple must deal with the return of Frank Churchill, now widowed, and Knightley's apparently endless patience is tried by events in his brother's family, as well as his beloved Emma's whims and fancies. But the irrepressible Emma is restless ... Emma wants Knightley to stop treating her like a child. Knightley meanwhile wants his young bride to love him as a husband, not as the man she's always looked up to. With tragedy in the offing, and events unfolding that include beloved characters from Emma, the couple must find their way to each other, and to perfect happiness. With a wonderful grasp of the manners and style of the day, this warm and witty exploration of a marriage between a sheltered (not to say spoiled) young lady and the man she looked upon as an older brother fulfills the romantic longings of Jane Austen lovers everywhere.
