Emma is a spoiled, overly confident woman who fancies herself a matchmaker. Instead, she misjudges people and situations based on hoity-toity concerns for "society." Austen's other books are better than this one. Perhaps read Pride & Prejudice, and maybe leave this one for later, that is, if you truly want to read all of Austen's works.
The two of us thought we'd read Emma so that we could watch the movie, The Jane Austen Book Club, with greater knowledge of what the movie's characters say about Austen. Highly recommend the movie!
