Description
Destinies can change in an instant. In 1935, Lorna's life takes a dramatic turn when she meets Matt, a penniless artist who sweeps her off her feet. She abandons her privileged London existence and moves to a rustic cottage in Somerset, where they start a family. But the coming war disrupts their lives, leaving Lorna with choices that shape not only her own story but also those of her daughter Molly and granddaughter Ruth. As the years pass, Lorna's decisions have unforeseeable consequences, influencing the lives of three generations of women. This poignant novel explores themes of love, pain, fate, and happiness, weaving together the stories of these women in a powerful exploration of family, identity, and the complexities of human experience. Through its thoughtful and nuanced portrayal of women's lives, Consequences offers a deeply moving and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in character-driven fiction.
