Watsons

Left impoverished upon the death of her aunt, Emma Watson has no option but to be reunited with her estranged father and siblings. Initially delighted with her new life—including the fashionable society balls to which she now has access—Emma soon realizes that her family harbors many ill feelings, not least those springing from the sisters' hopes—and disappointments—in snaring a husband. So when the eligible and suitably rich Tom Musgrove begins to transfer his affections from her sister Margaret to Emma, the result can only be further sibling rivalry and unrest. A delightful, exquisitely drawn portrait of family life, The Watsons is Jane Austen at her storytelling best. Author of the masterpieces Pride and Prejudice and Emma, Jane Austen (1775–1817) is one of the most beloved novelists of all time.

Lasata saracita la moartea matusii sale, Emma Watson nu are alta optiune decat sa se reuneasca cu tatal ei instrainat si cu fratii sai. Incantata initial de noua ei viata - inclusiv de balurile la moda ale societatii la care are acum acces - Emma isi da seama curand ca familia ei are multe sentimente de rau, nu in ultimul rand cele izvorate din sperantele surorilor - si dezamagirile - in prinderea unui sot.
