Consequences

The Booker Prize-winning authorâ€™s first novel since The Photograph is a sweeping saga of three generations of women, their lives, and loves

A chance meeting in St. Jamesâ€™s Park begins young Lorna and Mattâ€™s intense relationship. Wholly in love, they leave London for a cottage in a rural Somerset village. Their intimate life togetherâ€”Mattâ€™s woodcarving, Lornaâ€™s self-discovery, their new baby, Mollyâ€”is shattered with the arrival of World War II. In 1960s London, Molly happens upon a forgotten newspaperâ€”a seemingly small moment that leads to her first job and, eventually, a pregnancy by a wealthy man who wants to marry her but whom she does not love. Thirty years later, Ruth, who has always considered her existence a peculiar accident, questions her own marriage and begins a journey that takes her back to 1941â€”and a redefinition of herself and of love.

Told in Livelyâ€™s incomparable prose, Consequences is a powerful story of growth, death, and rebirth and a study of the previous centuryâ€”its major and minor events, its shaping of public consciousness, and its changing of lives.
