Jonathan Franzen, the renowned author of The Corrections, finally returns with his much-anticipated new book, Freedom (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). The desire, delusion, and concept of freedom hangs over the heads of the flawed and passionate members of a midwestern family. The Berglunds live, love, laugh, and languish. Patty, the determined ex-jock wife and mother, frustrated and lost. Walter, the well-meaning husband and father, helplessly and hopelessly in love with his wife. And their children — Joey, doted upon and mother-smothered; and Jessica, surviving despite her mother's seeming indifference. These lives — and the lives of friends, family and loves that orbit them — pulse with life on the page, and make for a truly unforgettable novel.
