Love, loss and heartache fill the pages of author Gillian Wells’ sequel to her bestselling, Mile’s Franklin nominated book, ALONE and Gillian spares no mercy on her readers who love great romance and drama in their books.
“An emotional story told with conviction and passion by an author who knows her characters and her purpose…a wonderful follow on to Alone…well done…” Dianne, Indie Book Reviewer
"I really enjoyed the storytelling in Consequences which to me captured the lives of rural Australians in a way many authors can’t manage: A straightforward way of looking at, and dealing with, life’s dramas – minor and monumental - and above all, a wonderful story about family. Definitely worth a quiet spot on the veranda, a glass of red and a few hours…Good luck with 2022 Miles Franklin, Gillian." Robert Barclay, Author
