FREEDOM - Harper Collins UK

'Deeper, funnier, sadder and truer than a work of fiction has any right to be Independent on Sunday This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they should. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and each other. I loved Freedom. His acute observations, his dialogue and above all his wry humour are delightful Antony Beevor, Sunday Telegraph Stupendous, magnificent, unforgettable, witty and rich. A great American novel is unmistakably what Freedom is Philip Hensher, Spectator Moving, funny and unexpectedly beautiful. I missed it when it was over Sam Mendes, Observer
