IR VERDICT:
TURMOIL: A Novel is a gripping read that keeps the pages turning as its unnamed narrator tells her life story from her early childhood in bombed out post-war London to her young adult life in the midst of San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury of the 1960s. The narrator’s vibrant, lively voice and riveting experiences, both comic and poignant, drive this entertaining and moving novel, which also offers a vivid social history of the mid-twentieth century world.
