Description
When a chance event sets off a chain reaction, the lives of those involved are forever changed. For Charlotte, a mugging and a broken hip set in motion a series of events that will alter the course of her life and the lives of those around her.
Penelope Lively's novel is a masterful exploration of the ways in which one small incident can have far-reaching consequences. With humour, humanity and sensitivity, she shows us how relationships are forged and broken, and how the choices we make can lead us down unexpected paths.
With its engaging and absorbing narrative, How It All Began is a compelling read that will keep you turning the pages until the very end.
