When
we really love a novel, we can't just let it go at "the end."

Why
We Love It: The eponymous heroine of Jane Austen's comedy of
manners is a character for the ages. The irrepressible meddler and stubbornly
wrongheaded matchmaker is even ignorant of her own heart—until her
happily-ever-after marriage to Mr. Knightley.
The
Sequel: Who doesn't love a clever romantic ending? But do we
really think mischievous Emma will settle placidly into "perfect
happiness" with Mr. Knightley? Surely, there's more.
