Review of 'Emma Jane Austen 1815' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book is A Confederacy of Dunces with a privileged white woman as the lead. It's a hard read until you realise she's a buffoon you're meant to laugh at the entire time.
She is smug, classist, and closeminded, the kind of person who genuinely believes they care about others but are completely incapable of seeing anyone elses point of view. Even after her journey of self discovery it's made very clear - with her attitude towards Harriet and Mr Martin - that she is still plenty classist and closeminded.
Maybe it's society conditioning me, maybe it's my own insecurities, but if I'm honest I kinda love her spoiled white ass.
