A sweeping investigation of human mythologies, Crossroads follows the Hildebrandt family as they navigate the political, intellectual, and social crosscurrents of the past fifty years . . .
Jonathan Franzen's gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident than in this tour-de-force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis.
"Franzen lays on a lavish spread of self-doubt and dysfunction, simmering tensions, heaped indignity, the sort of fraught festive gathering everyone can relate to." -- The Guardian
