概要

In Edith Wharton's 1928 masterpiece, The Children, the jazz-age glamour of the European Riviera masks a poignant and chaotic reality.

Martin Boyne, a midlife bachelor seeking a quiet reunion with a lost love, finds his world upended when he encounters the seven Wheater children. Products of their wealthy parents' endless cycle of divorce and remarriage, the siblings are led by the fiercely protective fifteen-year-old Judith. Bound by a pact never to be separated, the children cling to one another as the only stable force in a world of fleeting whims and neglected duties.

Wharton masterfully balances sharp social satire with deep emotional resonance, exploring the collateral damage of modern marriage and the bittersweet loss of innocence. As Boyne becomes the children's unlikely champion, he is forced to choose between the orderly life he planned and the messy, heartbreaking devotion of a family he never expected to claim.

A hauntingly modern classic, The Children is a powerful testament to loyalty and the enduring need for a place to call home.
