‘Deeper, funnier, sadder and truer than a work of fiction has any right to be’ Independent on Sunday
‘Both a page-turner and a work of art ... an almost perfectly written novel’ Evening Standard
This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they ‘should’. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and each other.

Review:
From the Publisher:
‘Stupendous, magnificent, unforgettable, witty and rich. A great American novel is unmistakably what Freedom is’ Spectator
‘A masterpiece. Franzen skewers the particularity of modern life and love like no one else. If you are free to live as you choose, he asks, who else can you blame when it goes wrong?’ Daily Telegraph
‘Writing in prose that dazzles, Franzen has now written the two novels that best define modern America’ Independent on Sunday
‘Extraordinary ... it is first troubling, then addictive – and then, with mounting satisfaction, convinces you this is simply on a different plane from other contemporary fiction’ Guardian
This book has been printed with two different dust jackets--one black, one white. Amazon.co.uk is unable to accept requests for a specific cover. The various covers will be assigned to orders at random.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERA masterpiece New York TimesStupendous, magnificent, unforgettable, witty and rich. A great American novel Spectator Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paul the gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter's dreams. Together with Walter environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, family man she was doing her small part to build a better world.But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katz outre rocker and Walter's old college friend and rival still doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to poor Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become a very different kind of neighbour, an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street's attentive eyes?In his first novel since The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of too much liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom's intensely realized characters, as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERA masterpiece New York TimesStupendous, magnificent, unforgettable, witty and rich. A great American novel Spectator Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780007269761
