A witty, affectionate period romance about a meddlesome young woman learning to see her own heart, set in the English countryside with high romantic stakes and gentle comedy.

Emma Woodhouse is a congenial young lady who delights in meddling in other people’s affairs. She is perpetually trying to unite men and women who are utterly wrong for each other. Despite her interest in romance, Emma is clueless about her own feelings, and her relationship with gentle Mr. Knightley.
