A vivid, crowded picture of a gossipy, judgmental neighborhood comes into focus, with Patty, her husband Walter Berglund, and their children Jessica and Joey at its center.

Everyone in Ramsey Hill holds opposing views, is affiliated with different political groups, and seems self-absorbed. Certain figures receive page-long tirades, and those most entangled with the Berglunds appear more frequently and more critically in the community\u2019s chatter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>As the Berglunds pursue freedom \u2014 or the illusion of it \u2014 they make terrible choices, harming themselves and others. <\/strong>The novel is engrossing \u2014 somewhat hefty, but it flies by thanks to its bustling pace and expansive range. You\u2019ll be surprised by how relatable it feels, and by how Franzen dismantles the ideal picture of America.<\/p>\n<p
