The Corrections

This dramatic adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's award-winning novel, praised by Bret Easton Ellis as one of the great books of his generation, explores the complexities of an elderly Midwestern couple and their three adult children as they navigate personal struggles and familial tensions from the mid-20th century to one last Christmas together near the millennium. Set against the backdrop of America's evolving landscape, the story follows Gary, Chip, and Denise Lambert as they confront their individual challenges and seek to reconcile their differences. Adapted for BBC Radio 4 and featuring a talented cast, this rendition brings to life a poignant family saga that reflects on the American psyche in the wake of 9/11.
