A review by zoemaja
The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud

2.0

library book on kindle. It is difficult going back and forth between this and The Signature of all things, the audio book I am listening to right now. The tone is just so different. It was jarring to go from 11/2/1963 to this as well. But I am in the groove a few chapters in and while not quite liking the characters, at least not yet, at least being interested in them.

I actually abandoned this book halfway through. I just couldn't read one more page about privileged characters agonizing over their specialness. Not in the mood.
