The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

The Emperor's ChildrenThe Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


This is a book about New Yorkers. Self absorbed, selfish, and fairly unlikable New Yorkers. As someone who loves the city and people there, the book makes one ashamed of this characterization of the city's great minds.
The author's writing is substantial, and the storyline is well composed, but I felt disdain for the entire group of characters for most of the book.
