Publisher's Synopsis

""The Watsons"" is a novel written by Jane Austen, but left unfinished and published posthumously. The story follows the Watson family, who are struggling to maintain their social status after the death of their father. The eldest daughter, Emma, has been raised by a wealthy aunt and is seen as a potential match for a wealthy suitor, Lord Osborne. However, Emma is torn between her duty to her family and her desire for independence and love. Meanwhile, the other Watson siblings navigate their own romantic entanglements and social pressures. Despite being unfinished, the novel showcases Austen's signature wit and social commentary, offering a glimpse into the lives of the upper class in early 19th century England.The next morning brought a great many visitors. It was the way of the place always to call on Mrs. Edwards the morning after a ball, and this neighbourly inclination was increased in the present instance by a general spirit of curiosity on Emma's account, as everybody wanted to look again at the girl who had been admired the night before by Lord Osborne. Many were the eyes, and various the degrees of approbation with which she was examined.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
