The Emperor's Children
by Claire Messud
recommended for:
anyone who likes 19th Century novels; satires of New York intellectuals
read in January, 2007

My rating:

Yes, it was a very wise person (and perhaps a writer) who put that fortune in that cookie.Happy New Year, Reena; we must all "work on."
