The summer after she graduates from university, Emma Woodhouse returns home to the village of Highbury, where she will live with her health-conscious father until she is ready to launch her interior-design business and strike out on her own. In the meantime, she will do what she does best: offer guidance to those less wise than she is in the ways of the world.This modern-day Emma is wise and witty, and will appeal equally to Smith'sfans and to Austen Aficionados.
