Compelling-many themes to discuss

We tried this book this year with out sophomore English students. They loved it! There were so many themes to discuss: family, a way to be good again, inherent evil, lasting consequences of choices, male/female roles, etc. The students focused on different things than my female book club, who also loved the book.

The Emperor's Children by Claire Messud
 
Put this down three times before I finished it.

I found this one of the dullest books I've read. There wasn't much of a plot and the characters were not interesting.

This book is great as a discussion starter: making choices when neither choice is a good one, right vs. wrong, family loyalty, racial injustice, tolerance, etc.
