This is my first Philip Roth novel. It took me a while to finish, partly as I've had a lot to contend with over the last couple of months, and also because of the amount of detail in the book. I got a little bit confused at some point as I realised that the narrator had changed but I don't recall any particular indication that this was going to happen.
American Pastoral is the story of a Jewish entrepreneur and jock and his life that outwardly looks perfect, but inwardly is in turmoil. The book explores the difference between different generations and their attitude towards America 'the land of opportunity'.
