A hugely satisfying and romantic novel, in Consequences Penelope
Lively plots the lives of three generations of twentieth-century
women. In 1935, privileged misfit Lorna meets the love of her life.
Falling for a pennyless and bohemian artist, Matt, she abandons her
stuffy Kensington existence in London and moves to a rustic cottage
in Somerset. A baby, Molly, is born, but the coming war takes Matt
- and Lorna's dreams - away. Lorna's decisions and their
unforeseeable consequences come to shape the stories first of her
daughter, Molly, and then her granddaughter, Ruth. Consequences
tells of three generations of women in their own twentieth-century
times united by their shared experiences of love, pain, fate and
happiness . . . 'A flawlessly constructed mini-epic that will
