Recommended to 11-12 + for social situations and general content that might go over the heads of younger readers
4/5 stars
3/5 on the Happiness Meter
Genre: Historical Fiction/Romance
The Emma graphic novels are a pleasure to read due to their rich backdrops and the abundance of swirly skirts. Kaouri Mori's books tell the tale of reserved, duty-bound Emma, a housemaid/companion for an elderly lady. Emma begins to have feelings for the lady's former pupil, a rich, well-to-do young gentleman. Of course, she knows that they can never be together because of her inferior social status but she quietly harbors her feelings for him all the same as she goes about her daily duties. Things quickly become complicated when the young man starts having feelings for her. Add in some disapproving parents, death, an upset fiance (and family), and a visiting prince and you're in for a good read (several reads really as the eighth book in the series is coming out soon).
