Book Review of Purity: A Novel

Purity: A Novel
Purity: A Novel
Author: Jonathan Franzen
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover


A young woman in deep debt turns to her mother for help, but mom has no funds and won't tell her who her father is. So she goes off on a quest, joining a radical movement with a charismatic leader who promises her information that could lead to her father.
I generally love Franzen's novels, and this one is very good, it's just not my favorite.
