"Makes you cheer and cry" according to Carps. Emma Volume 2 continues the heartwarming story about a shy maid who has fallen in love with William, a man from the upper class (and vice versa). The way Kaoru Mori tells this tragic and beautiful story is like reading a Jane Austen novel, except it's much better (in my opinion) and it is told through beautiful, simple, cross-hatched imagery rather than ironic and spoofy storytelling. As hinted in the first volume, this volume focuses more on the impossibility of William and Emma's relationship, at least in the eyes of William's family and a few other characters.This volume finally shows William and E. Amazon Customer said The Crystal Palace and the space between Common and Gentry. As Kelly is tended for her deteriorating health, Emma and the Young Master Jones go out on a very proper tour (date) of the historic Crystal Palace, which leads to an unexpected romantic evening together. But perhaps things are not meant to be as news of their love comes rather tepidly to the rest of the Jones household the most powerful of whom still has designs on Eleanor for the Young Master. All of this, and another spoilerific event, leads Emma to make a most drastic decision concerning her class-breaking relationship with William.A dinner party gives Eleanor a chance to strut her tailfeathers a . Loving the art and story in this winsome melodrama Granted, the story and plotting has been somewhat predictable so far yet I'm still engaged by Kaoru Mori's intricate illustration along with it's weepy melodramatic tone. Without spoiling too much, there is a lot of significant plot developments in this volume that will seemingly take the story in new directions.
As chance would have it, Emma finds herself sharing a car with another maid, one who serves at a large manor in the country. Not wishing to cause a scandal within the Joneses' household, Emma chooses to make a clean break from her old life and takes a train to the sea. A big house bustling with servants seems an ideal place in which to move forward after losing her mistress and leaving her love back in London. Learning the precise dance of domestic service in her new environment is a welcome challenge, but how long can hard work divert Emma's mind from the longing of her heart?
