‘His best novel yet … A Middlemarch-like triumph’ Telegraph‘A pleasure bomb of a novel’ Vogue ‘A true modern master’ Independent

It’s 23 December 1971, and the Hildebrandts are at a 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.

First time reading Jonathan Franzen book, I "could not put it down". I am now looking forward to read more books of this writer.

fantastic..how he conveys the characters especially the females is wonderous....but a special mention for his voice acting for Perry

Exceptional and a perfect Narrator

Loved it all. In awe of the reader who seemed to be able to convey the essence of so many different characters.

Fantastic characters - such an intense and compelling story

The characters are extraordinarily dissected, flawed and sympathetic (mostly). only criticism is the length, some parts too extended, painful but perhaps that's the author's intent.

Thoroughly recommended

I loved this. Franzen has brought to life a cast of characters, centred on one particular family. T he places where much of the action takes place are vividly presented and the time, when the USA was beginning to wind up its war in Vietnam, is brilliantly and authentically evoked.
Each of the main characters is introduced and opinions we may have formed about them are later subject to change as their back story is subsequently explored. People we may have found unsympathetic become more endearing when we see and understand the journeys they have been on to reach this point.
It's gripping, funny, sad, fascinating and I didn't want it to end.
The reader did a good job, too!
Definitely recommended.

Thoroughly imagined portrait of a family
