Turmoil (Growth Trilogy Vol 1)

by Booth Tarkington

The Turmoil is a novel that delves into the social and economic changes that occurred in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The story follows the decline of the Amberson family, an aristocratic clan that once held great power and prestige. As the country industrializes, new social classes emerge, and the old order gives way to the new. The novel explores themes of generational differences, the clash between tradition and modernity, and the rise and fall of families.
