Emma Woodhouse, aged 20 at the start of the novel, is a young, beautiful, witty, and privileged woman in Regency England. She lives on the fictional estate of Hartfield in Surrey in the village of Highbury with her elderly widowed father, a hypochondriac who is excessively concerned for the health and safety of his loved ones.

As the novel opens, Emma has just attended the wedding of Miss Taylor, her best friend and former governess. Having introduced Miss Taylor to her future husband, Mr. Weston, Emma takes credit for their marriage, and decides that she rather likes matchmaking.

כשאדם רוצה להתפרק הוא צורח, או בוכה, או כותב. אצל קימברלי רייסון המצב קצת שונה, כי הדבר היחידי שעוזר לגוף שלה להרפות ולמועקה הכבדה שבגרונה להתמוסס, היא נשיקה- איתו. ❞ שפתינו נעות בתיאום מושלם. אני עוצמת את עיניי וכך גם הוא. כל המחשבות, החששות, העצב..הכל מתפוגג בשנייה. אנחנו מתנתקים בשקט. מביטים בשמש שהפכה בינתיים לאדומה ומתחילה להיעלם לה אל תוך הים הכהה. אני נושמת עמוק ועוצמת את עיניי. סוף סוף התפרקות. ❝ #1 רומנטיקה
