Emma

a Modern Retelling
Jun 28, 2016
This was very disappointing . If you love Jane Autin this is a poor remake. This novel was more about Emma's father and he was treated with much more sympathy than Emma who was made to seem a spoiled brat. Granted, she had some growing up to do but the nuances and subtleties of her character was lost with this author. He gave short shift to Emma, but seemed to forgive all the foibles of the vicar and Harriet's characters. The relationship between Emma and Knightley was nonexistent so it made no sense at the end that they loved each other. I am going to retread Jane's Emma to clear my mind.
