tumultuously

There’s very little trace of this Chinatown in the city that survives, but the novel takes the reader back to when it was both tumultuously and thrillingly alive.

The rhythms of real life can be tumultuously cruel, but sometimes they explode in patterns — not unlike a rock-and-roll drum beat.

It is tumultuously emotive, barely under control at times and certainly not as tidily polished as was expected from a young violinist of that era making a New York debut.

Manzoni writes that “the city, already tumultuously inclined, was now turned upside down.”

The lesser offence of sedition, meanwhile, is defined as “rising up publicly and tumultuously to prevent, through force or beyond legal means, the application of the law”.
