Review:
The Lamberts – Enid and Alfred and their three grown-up children – are a troubled family living in a troubled age.
Alfred is ill and as his condition worsens the whole family must face the failures, secrets and long-buried hurts that haunt them if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs. Stretching from the Midwest in the mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of globalised greed, The Corrections brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty into wild collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and New Economy millionaires. It announces Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Edit [27.07.2016]: I couldn't write the release note on time because I wasn't online during my journey trough the Baltic Sea. This book was released on 17th July at noon in Kleipeda on a bench in the city centre (Kepėjų g. near the statue). I'm so happy it was found already!!
