Praise
‘Franzen pulls off the extraordinary feat of making the lives of his characters more real to you than your own’
DAVID HARE, Guardian, Books of the Year
‘By the end of Freedom you may feel you understand its protagonists better than you know anyone in the world around you’
NICHOLAS HYTNER, Evening Standard, Books of the Year
‘No question about it: Freedom swept everything before it in intricately observed, humane, unprejudiced armfuls’
PHILIP HENSHER, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year
‘Head and shoulders above any other book this year’
SAM MENDES, Observer, Books of the Year
‘A masterpiece. Like all great novels, Freedom does not just tell an engrossing story. It illuminates, through the steady radiance of its author’s profound moral intelligence, the world we thought we knew’
