description: The Emperorâ€s Children is a richly drawn, brilliantly observed novel of fate and fortuneâ€”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.
