The Emperor's Children by
claire messud. great book. couldn't put it down. i wanted to know more about the characters, who slowly emerge as connected, ties strong between them, until they suffer their surprising fates. i loved
messud's character development - i like to read "good fiction about people" but am often bored with a modern work.
messud is reading at the
newburyport literary festival next
week, and i will try to see her. i also just ordered her other novels from
the library - she is a local, and lives in
somerville.
