Summary: "Consequences" by E.M. Delafield is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically during the years around World War I. The story revolves around the life of Alex Clare, exploring her upbringing with her siblings and the complexities of her relationships, particularly with authority figures and her peers. The narrative highlights themes of childhood innocence, family dynamics, and the consequences of actions, as indicated by the title. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Clare children gathered around the nursery playing a game called "Consequences." Through their interactions, we meet Alex, the self-appointed leader, who navigates sibling rivalry and the expectations placed upon her. The scene sets the stage for themes of competition and the desire for approval, particularly as Alex grapples with her familial role and the influence of the nursery maid, Emily. As the narrative progresses, Alex's impulsive nature leads to significant repercussions, hinting at the broader implications of her actions, which sets up a compelling trajectory for her character development throughout the rest of the novel.
