About this title

Review:

"A deeply affecting story...[Dubner's] engrossing book will interest not only serious Jews and Catholics, but all whose lives have been torn by interfamilial religious schisms".

-- Kirkus Reviews

"Intense, acutely observed. A story that is at once enlightening and baffling. While it is clearly better for Stephen Dubner if his turbulent stays quiet, I think readers of this wonderful book will rather hope that a continual measure of unsettlement inspires him to write more.""-- The New York Times Book Review""In addition to being deeply moved by "Turbulent Souls, " I am full of admiration for Stephen J. Dubner's honesty, the complexity of his intelligence, his commitment to understanding his parent's history, and his refusal to oversimplify."-- Mary Gordon, author of" The Shadow Man"
