About this item
The Consequence of Anna is a poignant and emotionally charged historical saga set in 1930s Australia. Inspired by true events and soon to be a major motion picture, this novel draws comparisons to The Thorn Birds, The Light Between Oceans, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover for its deeply moving narrative and complex characters.
Anna May Shahan, a wild and eccentric woman raised on a lush farm by the sea, is the heart of this story. Her upbringing by an Aboriginal nanny and her quirky, yet troubled nature shape her life in profound ways. After marrying her Irish husband James and inheriting the family’s sheep station, Anna’s life seems content, though she struggles with mental demons and bizarre behaviors.
The arrival of her beautiful, widowed cousin Lottie from London disrupts this fragile peace. Lottie, having been absent for over a decade, reveals her deepest desire to have a child. Driven by her fear of losing Lottie once more, Anna makes a fateful decision to fulfill this wish through her own husband, leading to a chain of devastating consequences.
The novel delves into themes of obsessive love, the complexities of female friendship, and the haunting effects of altruistic intentions gone awry. It’s a story rich with lush romance, hidden passions, and the dark ramifications of well-meaning actions. The Consequence of Anna is a powerful allegory that explores the boundaries of love and the painful reality that no good deed goes unpunished. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Ellen Marie Wiseman, this tearjerker promises to leave a lasting impact. 📚❤️
