The Consequences Of Marriage Summary

The Consequences Of Marriage by Isla Dewar

A delicious, funny, heartwarming new novel from an author whose novels are bestsellers in Scotland and who has a growing army of fans in the rest of the world. When James McElroy saw the ad for a lodger with 'Bibi Sanders' in a smart Edinburgh street, he pictured a glamorous young landlady with whom he would form a meaningful and deep relationship. But Bibi's in her seventies. She's led a full life, including marriage to the domineering and difficult Callum, now deceased, and raised six children.She's not sure what to make of James and suspects - rightly - a troubling secret in his past. When Bibi sets out to re-visit the past for the final time via a tour of Britain in her rather unexpected Volvo sports car, James decides to go with her. It's a journey full of surprised and revelations which will change them both - and, in Isla Dewar's inimitable way, entertain and enlighten every reader.

Adorably frank, earthy, pensioner Bibi Saunders is contemplating getting rid of her lodger James, citing him "too thin, too fussy, too uptight". Instead, she decides to "take him in hand", or rather, on a road trip to the past that has significant consequences for both their futures. "Happiness..." espouses Bibi, "it's impossible." Unless of course you're tucked up somewhere comfy with the latest Isla Dewar. -- Daily Record Isla Dewar is undoubtedly one of the jewels in our literary crown and her latest release is perhaps her best yet.
