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
the ideal sort of neighbour who could tell you where to recycle your batteries
and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably
perfect mother and the wife of Walter’s dreams. Together with
Walter—environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total 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—outré rocker and Walter’s college
best friend and rival— still doing in the picture? Most of all, what has
happened to 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 this instant #1 bestselling novel, Jonathan
Franzen charts the mistakes and joys of these intensely realized characters as
they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world. An epic of
contemporary love and marriage, Freedom is a deeply moving portrait of
our time.
