'Consequences' Summary
Alexandra Clare, born into a privileged Catholic family in late Victorian England, faces a life of societal expectations and the pressure to conform. However, Alexandra's path diverges from the norm as she stumbles through school, disappoints in the marriage market, and struggles to find her place in the world. Along the way, she grapples with her own identity, questions the expectations placed upon her, and navigates the complexities of family relationships. Through its exploration of Alexandra's journey, 'Consequences' offers a nuanced examination of social conventions, personal growth, and the challenges faced by women during this era.Book Details
