Welcome to Litsy!

#pemberlittens #thewatsonreadalong #chapter17 Robert arrives and reams Emma out for not marrying Lord Osborne. He suggests she is selfish, that she is a burden for return after 15 years, that she will end up in a workhouse, and that she was not smart enough to handle the whole situation. I find Albert unbearably cruel and unhelpful. He only cares about himself. I get Emma needs to marry, but this chapter was quite upsetting!

I didn‘t know what to expect from Austen‘s unfinished book, but now that I‘m done I only wish that it was longer/finished. I‘m glad my edition includes a half page on how Austen would have ended it.

I loved the ball scenes and Emma saving the young boy. I also loved how she wasn‘t charmed by the same man as her other sisters.
