E. M. Delafield's "Consequences" presents a compelling exploration of the intricate web of social mores and personal aspirations within the confines of early 20th-century British society. Through the life of its protagonist, the novel unfolds as a poignant critique of gender expectations, revealing the struggles and sacrifices women faced in their pursuit of autonomy.
