Turbulence
by David Szalay
The writing of this book isn't revolutionary, but the way the stories are structured and told is what makes this a 4 star review for me.Each chapter is an airport ETA, with characters traveling from London to Bangkok and several cities in between. The book starts of with a woman traveling to meet a family member and becomes sick on a passenger sitting next to her. The subsequent chapter features that passenger she became sick on and thus begins 12 short vignettes that serves as glimpses into various moments, monumental and quiet, into various people's lives
There were some stories that I wish the author would have stayed with longer, but that's the point of the book - every day, we encounter people that we meet in passing or in a brief moment and never learn anything else about them from outside that moment.. And life goes on.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
