Consequences (novel) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Consequences (novel) ''Consequences'' by E. M. Delafield is a 1919 novel about a young woman entering a convent. Its heroine, Alex Clare, refuses to marry the only young man to make her an offer of marriage, and, finding herself regarded as a failure by society, must resort to convent life. E. M. Delafield herself entered a convent for a year, though was able to find freedom through working as a VAD. 〔 ''Encyclopedia of British Women's Writing, 1900-1950'', eds. Faye Hammill, Esme Miskimmin and Ashlie Sponenberg, (Palgrave Macmillan 2009) pp. 67 ISBN 978-0-230-22177-2 〕 Alex is not afforded such emancipation and her tale ends tragically as a result.
