Turbulence by David Szalay
3.0

Twelve people mostly strangers.

The surprising ripple effect each one has on the life of the next as they cross paths while in transit around the world.

Along the way, they experience the full range of human emotions from loneliness to love and, knowingly or otherwise, change each other in one brief, electrifying interaction after the next.

Thank you Goodreads and Scribner Books for a chance to read this book!

Each chapter is about a different character. But each chapter flows into one another to show the connection we have as people and how a single event can affect not just the people closest to the time and place of the event but it can affect someone on the other side of the world. The ripple effect. So, its 12 chapters of short stories but in a way, you don’t really feel like you a reading short story. It was a beautiful book. Happy reading everyone!!
