I can never re-read her enough.
💐 Springtime equals Emma by Jane Austen for me.
This early spring read of Emma was a true delight. I laughed over and over again.
Yes Emma is easily unlikeable from page one chapter one, but though "handsome, clever, and rich"... we can instantly (most of us) realize that Emma's experiences will be FAR outside of ours. Emma has had "little to vex her".
Most of us have had real issues in life. Jane knows we won't truly relate.
This makes it easy to loathe Emma, but makes it all the more fantastic to see her character arc and development by the end of the novel. It surprises me every time.
If you've been sleeping on Emma because Pride and Prejudice gets all the hype (and rightfully so!), do yourself a favor this spring and read Emma.
Happy Austen reading 🍵
