Purity

von Jonathan Franzen

Pip Tyler doesnt know who she is. She knows her real name is Purity, that shes saddled with student debt, and that her relationship with her mother is hazardous. But she doesnt have a clue who her father is or how she can have a normal life. Set in America, Bolivia, and Germany, Purity is a dark-hued comedy of youthful idealism, extreme fidelity, and murder - Franzens most searching book yet.
