Seven-year-old Gavanndra Hodge´s life is a precarious place. Her father is a hairdresser and drug dealer to Chelsea´s most decadent inhabitants; her mother an alcoholic ex-model. So, it is up to Gavanndra to keep her little sister Candy safe. But when Candy dies suddenly on holiday aged nine, Gavanndra´s family, already so fragile and damaged, implodes. Now a mother herself, and with only memories of Candy´s awful final moments, Gavanndra embarks on a journey to write her way back to the little girl whose death tore her family apart. The Consequences of Love is a story of loss and recovery, trauma and memory. It is a joyous and compelling account of the strength of the love between sisters and how nothing is ever truly lost if we are brave enough to return to where we began.
