Emma of 83rd Street

Audrey Bellezza, Emily Harding

In this witty and romantic debut novel, Jane Austen's Emma meets the misadventures of Manhattan's modern dating scene as two lifelong neighbours discover that, in the search for love, sometimes you don't have to look any further than your own backyard.

Charming and clever Emma Woodhouse is used to getting her way. She's content living in her tight-knit Upper East Side neighbourhood, maintaining perfect grades at university and keeping an eye on her lonely father. And when her budding matchmaking hobby results in her sister's marriage, she knows she's on to something. If only George Knightley, her annoying neighbour and childhood friend, would get out of her way.

George is only too happy to point out Emma's flaws. Is she spoilt? Maybe a little. Does she insert herself into other people's business? Only sometimes. Emma has the best of intentions, though - she just wants everyone around her to be happy, even as she focuses on completing her graduate degree and finding her own place in the world. But will anyone ever take her seriously?

As Emma's schemes collide with nearly everyone around them, Emma and George come toe to toe. But they slowly begin to realise that there might be more to the person they've known their entire life ... and that, sometimes, the best matches come from the most unexpected places.
