Pip Tyler doesn't know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she's saddled with student debt and a reclusive mother, but there are few clues as to who her father is or how she'll ever have a normal life. Then she meets Andreas Wolf - internet outlaw, charismatic provocateur, a man who deals in secrets and might just be able to help her solve the mystery of her origins.

Reviews for Purity

`Dazzling' Guardian `Furiously funny' Telegraph `Superbly readable, it is the work of a novelist at the height of his powers ... This new work by an American master of realism has novelistic pleasures in abundance' Sunday Times `Purity makes the most compelling reading, and Franzen reveals himself here to be even more a master than ever' Evening Standard `It has kept me up every night for a week, and now that I'm done, I'll miss its wit, its messed-up characters and its emotional complexity' Financial Times `Franzen's most fleet-footed, least self-conscious and most intimate novel yet ... Franzen has added a new octave to his voice' New York Times
