Publisher's Synopsis
Jane Austen's beloved novel Emma concludes with the marriage of Emma Woodhouse and George Knightley. As the newlyweds begin married life together at Highbury in Surrey, England, they are exuberant over the happy turn of their lives and hopeful for the future. Writes Miss Austen, "The wishes, the hopes, the confidence, the predictions of the small band of friends who witnessed the ceremony, were fully answered in the perfect happiness of the union."
For more than two centuries, readers have wondered what lay ahead for the Knightleys and their friends, the Churchills, the Westons, and the Martins. Will "perfect happiness" prevail for all? Can love survive and thrive amidst life's harsh vicissitudes and the failings and deficiencies of the human spirit? Where Jane Austen's Emma leaves off, Emma and George: The Knightleys of Highbury begins.
