The book opens as they meet on a park bench in 1935 and is all about what happens next and over the next seventy years. Beautifully told and with delightful characters, it mirrors the changes in life and society during this time. The consequences of the title demonstrate how chance events have far reaching outcomes. For me the only criticism is in the ending - too convenient and improbable I'm afraid.
