After Rose Sellars’ husband dies, she and Martin Boyne can finally appropriately act on their feelings for each other. But while en route to meet with his now-fiancée, Martin finds himself inappropriately attracted to someone else. The Children “is not Lolita”, as Ali Hope notes– it’s an Edith Wharton novel, so the characters struggle to reconcile what they desire, what they know makes them happy, and what they know to be right.
