""Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paul -- the gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbour who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter's dreams. Together with Walter -- environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, family man -- she was doing her small part to build a better world. But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katz -- outré rocker and Walter's old college friend and rival -- still doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to poor Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become a 'very different kind of neighbour,' an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street's attentive eyes?"--cover, p.4"

"Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paul - the gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal neighbor, an enviably perfect mother, and the wife of Walter's dreams. She and Walter - environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family man - did their part to build a better world. But in the new millennium, something is happening to the Berglunds."
"This novel follows several members of an American family, the Berglunds, as well as their close friends and lovers, as complex and troubled relationships unfold over many years. The book follows them through the last decades of the twentieth century and concludes near the beginning of the Obama administration. The Berglunds are the middle class suburban family that the neighbors just love to talk about. Walter, the successful and doting husband, and Patty, the tall ex varsity basketball player who bakes Christmas cookies for each resident of Barrier Street, seem like the perfect couple. But life is not the pretty picture presented to the world. When their precious first born is corrupted by the wanton girl next door, the edges fray on the Berglunds' family fabric. An old friend emerges, tall, dark and only slightly disheveled and mistakes are made."@en

"Patty und Walter Berglund - Vorzeigeeltern und Umweltpioniere, fast schon ideale Nachbarn in ihrer selbstrenovierten viktorianischen Villa in St. Paul - geben plötzlich Rätsel auf: Ihr halbwüchsiger Sohn zieht zur proletenhaften republikanischen Familie nebenan, Walter lässt sich zum Schutz einer einzigen Vogelart auf einen zwielichtigen Pakt mit der Kohleindustrie ein, und Patty, Exsportlerin und Eins-a-Hausfrau, entpuppt sich als wahrlich sonderbar. Hat Walters bester Freund, ein Rockmusiker, damit zu tun? Auf einmal lebt Patty ihre kühnsten Träume, führt sie ein Leben ohne Selbstbetrug. In diesem Roman einer Familie, der zugleich ein großes Epos der letzten dreißig Jahre amerikanischer Geschichte ist, erzählt Jonathan Franzen von Freiheit - dem Lebensnerv der westlichen Kulturen - und auch dem Gegenteil von ihr, zeigt er die tragikomischen Verwerfungen zeitgenössischer Liebe und Ehe, Freundschaft und Sexualität."
