Booth Tarkington is one of an elite group of only three writers who have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for literature more than once. The novel The Turmoil is the first entry in the 'Growth' trilogy of books that focus on the social and economic upheaval brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
An enjoyable easy read - A good early 20th century family drama.....wealthy driven family shuns the black sheep dreamer in the family since that 'drive and greed' gene seems to have been missed........but is this lack of gumption really the sum total of the black sheep's fate??? I'll not spoil the story, but suffice it to say, the story, while certainly sappy, kept my interest and revealed the fact that there have been obsessed business men neglecting their families in the $$$$ quest for a very long time.......i see people i know very well today in several of the characters and this was written in 1915! I love having the perspective on the human condition.....thank you Booth Tarkington. ( )
