June book: the Emporer's Children by Claire Messud

Great group this months discussing the Emporer's Children. We were all taken by the excellent wrting and the story however spending a lot of time with the characters seemed painful. Was this a device to make her point? why did Messud torture us with these characters? The finale pulled the book together and left us questioning a time in history and a certain priveledged group of people.
