The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud
Follows three friends - and their overlapping social and family circles - through their day-to-day lives, their perceived struggles and successes and their search for meaning. This work also presents a portrait of a particular place at a particular moment, and an illustration of how the events of a single day can change everything for ever.
