This novel is a sequel to Jane Austen's Emma. It starts a year after the original story ends. Emma and Knightley are still living at Hartfield. Everything is perfect, so perfect that it is a little boring to Emma. Then things go crazy. Jane Churchill (formerly Fairfax) dies in childbirth and John Knightley goes bankrupt. Suddenly Emma is forced to deal with things she never imagined and her and Knightley's love is tested. I liked this sequel because I liked that it showed how hard marriage can be, even between people who love each other, and how important communication is in a marriage. A good read.
