Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom has been hailed as the greatest American novel ever written. It’s also the latest Oprah Book Club selection.
A brilliant follow-up to The Corrections, which won multiple awards and continues to enjoy international acclaim, Freedom is “an excavation of the cracks in the nuclear family's facade against a backdrop of all-American faults and fissures” (Publishers Weekly).
It centres upon Patty and Walter Berglund, an American couple who used to be the perfect neighbours, parents and citizens. But now, in the new millennium, they have become a mystery, and the neighbours – who always wanted to ‘keep up with the Berglunds’ – can’t stop wondering what happened …?

"Continues to be the exemplary novel of postwar American family life." – author Joshua Ferris on The Corrections
