CROSSROADS
Fifteen-year-old Perry has resolved to be a better person and quit dealing drugs to seventh graders. His sister Becky, the once straight-laced high school social queen, has veered into counterculture, while at college, Clem is wrestling with a decision that might tear his family apart. As their parents – Russ, a suburban pastor, and Marion, his restless wife – tug against the bonds of a joyless marriage, Crossroads finds a family, and a nation, struggling to do the right thing.
"His best novel yet … A Middlemarch-like triumph" ~ Telegraph
"A pleasure bomb of a novel" ~ Vogue
"A true modern master" ~ Independent
"Funny, moving, crackling with life, it has what all great fiction should have" ~ Financial Times
"Franzen has laid the ground beautifully, and his first act is intoxicating – a luxuriant domestic drama that opens out into politics, running against the grain of the counterculture with its focus on the friction between conservatism and radicalism, Christianity and social activism" ~ Guardian
