Description: "Chud Conduit, the wild grandson of the most successful businesswoman in Monument, and Jack Santry, gentle Anglo-Irish heir to Main, the estate on the hill, are the most unlikely of friends. United by their love for Rosa, beautiful daughter of the town bookmaker, they are bound by a terrible event that flings all three adolescents from their Garden of Eden. Chud and Jack meet again on the beaches of Normandy, where events determine the course of the rest of their lives in ways that none of them can anticipate. One wins Rosa's hand in marriage, the other her eternal affection, sealing their destinies together over six decades, tangled in a triangle of love that is stronger than social convention, beyond even law.  Consequences of the Heart is a work of powerful and sensual lyricism, effortless characterization and sparkling humor"--
