The Emperor's Children, Paperback/Claire Messud

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Book Review Best Book of the Year The Emperor's Children is a richly drawn, brilliantly observed novel of fate and fortune--about the intersections in the lives of three friends, now on the cusp of their thirties, making their way--and not-- in New York City. In this tour de force, the celebrated author Claire Messud brings to life a city, a generation, and the way we live in this moment.
