Publisher's Synopsis
The Watsons is a novel written by Jane Austen, but it remained unfinished at the time of her death. The story is about a family of four daughters and their widowed father, who are struggling to find their place in society after being left in reduced circumstances. The eldest daughter, Emma Watson, has been living with a wealthy aunt and uncle for several years but is now returning home to live with her family. The novel follows the family's attempts to find suitable husbands for the daughters, as well as their interactions with the local gentry. Along the way, the family faces various challenges and setbacks, including financial difficulties and social snobbery. Despite its unfinished state, The Watsons is considered an important work in Austen's oeuvre, offering insights into her writing process and the themes that she explored in her other novels.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.
