SUMMARY: [From Amazon.com
] Emma leaves London behind hoping to start anew elsewhere. With only the vaguest intentions of returning to her birthplace, our fair heroine lucks out by finding a progressive trader family to serve. Not only does she surprise the "downstairs" folk, but also the "upstairs" as well, making a favorable impression on just about everyone, from the lowliest chambermaid to the master and mistress of the house themselves. Meanwhile, with Emma beyond his reach, the Young Master Jones is doing his best to play the dutiful son; working harder, attending social dates, even doing charity work. This, of course, confuses his sister, Grace, and you can feel the tension and mild cognitive dissonance in her whenever she's in panel... that is, when she's not flustered by a trio of hens clucking away in admiration of her.
THOUGHTS: I’m beginning to think that I should have waited for the whole Emma series to be published so that I could read (and review) the whole story in one swoop. There’s not much to say now. I like the story. I like where the plot seems to be going. I really like the art. Yup. That’s that.
Check back to see if I have any massive revelations after reading volume 4.
RATING: 6/10 [Good]
