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, finds a family, and a nation, struggling to do the right thing.Crossroads

Dieses Buch ist ein kleines Wunder! Grandios, wie Franzen es schafft, die einzelnen Personen zu charakterisieren. Und zudem absolut stimmig vorgelesen von David Pittu. Herausragend!
