Jane Austen's Emma follows the titular heroine, a wealthy, clever young woman who meddles in the romantic affairs of those around her, only to discover that her own heart has been engaged all along. Through witty social commentary and romantic entanglement, Austen creates a novel about self-awareness, growth, and the dangers of assuming we know better than others. The story becomes a celebration of imperfection and the journey toward understanding ourselves.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Austen created a protagonist who's genuinely flawed and genuinely funny. Emma reminds us that the people who need to learn the most are often the ones most convinced they already know everything, and that growth requires humility.
