  Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

  Price: £8.99    Add to Basket

  Heralded as the book of the century, written by a modern-day Tolstoy, Franzen's much hyped novel is irresistible. Although at times it strikes one as slightly overwritten, it is an enormously ambitious, emotionally complex family saga that perfectly evokes America of the 1990s with some exquisite scene setting. Bravo Franzen for bringing the literary novel back into the limelight at the very least.
