Emma - Jane Austen

To kick off the Page Turners book club we agreed our first novel would be:

Emma by Jane Austen


This was chosen because most people are familiar with the basic story and it’s available on film to help you along- the Gwyneth Paltrow/Jeremy Northam (sigh) version is very good.

Next meeting: Weds 20th May 2009, 7:30pm

Where: All Bar One. RSVP to Daksha

Think about: Characterisation, plot, sub-plot, imagery/symbolism (can talk about this), style of writing, the title, key messages/themes

Tip: Write down notes and ideas as they occur to you, and the pages they appear on so you can quote.

Please do not worry if you cannot finish the novel before we meet again or that you will have nothing to say. Just come along and enjoy!
