Emma: A Modern Retelling 

Alexander McCall Smith (bestselling and beloved author of 'The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series) presents readers with his charming take on Jane Austen with this modern-day retelling of Emma.  

Witty, wise, and totally enchanting, this version of Emma will appeal equally to McCall's Smith's multitude of fans and the enormous community of wildly enthusiastic Austen aficionados. 

“The Jane Austen we know is delicious enough on her own, but Austen filtered through the mind of Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith could be the best of both possible worlds ...  This rewarding read is a fascinating pastiche of two of the most enjoyable writers in the British tradition.” -- BookPage
