Emma, by Jane Austen. I decided to reread this before reading a related fan fiction mystery that I learned about recently from my mother-in-law. It turns out it has been quite a while since I’d last read it, since Emma is not one of my favorites. Some things I appreciated this time that I’d forgotten: how warm and sparkling Jane Fairfax’s true personality is, and how very nuanced Frank Churchill’s conversations with Emma were, before she knew his secret. I had also forgotten that Emma was clearly retaining some of her ongoing not-wonderful biases, but that will just give Mr Knightley more room to continue influencing her for the better.
