The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

3.0

This one was a little long, and did drag in some parts, but it grew on me. I wasn't sure at first if I was even going to finish it, but I did and it was ok. Some parts were quite good, some parts just ok. The sentence structure did annoy me at times, and made this book hard to read when one is half asleep (as I often am when I am reading). In the end, probably worth reading, but could have been maybe 100 pages shorter.
