Book Club: Jonathan Franzen's "Freedom"

Jonathan Franzen’s melancholy novel, Freedom, follows a locally prominent Midwestern family, caught up in a rough spell.

An epic tale of contemporary love and marriage, the novel is at once both comic and tragic, as it charts the mistakes and joys of its characters struggling to live in an ever more confusing world.
