Description
Martin Sourdough is a homeless person who has
chosen to turn his back on the corporate, material world; Willis Hancocks Jr.
is a barrister, an alcoholic philanderer, and a misogynist; and Evelyn (aka
Yvonne) is a prostitute. Turnstiles speaks to these social problems through the
smaller scope of each character’s individual trials. There is a struggle that
exists between the need to serve one’s own needs and the expectation to
participate in the larger social scheme. Martin and Willis are both trying to
fit into the world, but on their own terms. They are naïve, searching for an
Eden-like state of being. Through a broader experience of personal fortune,
misfortune, travel, and social interactions, they each learn to accept their path
and take control of their own destinies.
Advance Praise
"I enjoyed reading Turnstiles by Andrea McKenzie Raine. I saw the read now option and thought, why not? I didn't have to be at work until the evening and decided to spend a couple of hours reading a book by a promising author. I could not stop reading. It was all I could do to tear myself away long enough to get ready for work, and then I was back at my computer to finish the story. The plot is complex and draws you in from the very start. Her characters are deep and honest and are woven together intricately. I especially like the vivid descriptions and the way the story came together. I highly recommend this book." ~ Goodreads Reviewer
