Turbulence by David Szalay
4.0
After discovering author, David Szalay a couple of years ago, I was very excited to read his latest book, Turbulence.
Twelve chapters are cleverly titled with departure and arrival airport codes. The first chapter lays the ground work of relating a story as to why the character has traveled to their destination. Each proceeding chapter builds on the story preceding it. Usually, a character has traveled by plane to get to a destination for a specific reason but once at their destination they are faced with tragedy, deception, infidelity and sadness making the stories a bit depressing.
We see through the well written stories that, on every continent, humans share the same struggle, We are not so different after all.
I was hoping the story would bring the characters full circle but instead we return to the airport where the book began which, in a sense, infers there will be more stories with each go round.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for allowing me to read this e-ARC.
