Consequences

Set against the backdrop of the 20th century, Consequences is a compelling love story that traces the intertwined lives of three women across generations, beginning with a chance meeting in London on the eve of World War II. As personal tragedies and life-changing moments unfold—from wartime loss to unexpected discoveries—each woman’s journey leads to moments of growth, self-discovery, and transformation. Penelope Lively’s poetic prose masterfully explores themes of love, death, and rebirth within a rich historical context.
