Her father was a hairdresser to the rich and famous - he was also their drug dealer.
Her mother was an alcoholic fashion model.
Her days and nights were non-stop parties - she spent them taking care of her little sister and putting out naked flames.
And when her sister dies aged nine, Gavanndra is left alone with her grief. Growing up in the dazzling days and dark nights of her parents' social lives, surviving means fitting into their dysfunctional world, while stopping the family from falling apart . . .

There are scenes that will reduce you to tears, but there's also humour, forgiveness and uplifting optimism [...] by the end of this dazzling debut you just want to give her a huge cheer for coming through
Wise and moving . . . this memoir is an acknowledgment that love demands a price
By turns painful and joyful, this beautiful book has plenty of poignant lessons to teach us about grief and love
Gavanndra writesbeautifully, her words are unsentimental but very lyrical [...] I loved this book and my tears fell into the bath as I read it
A devastating, heart-breaking and magnificent meditation on the function of memory. It will stay with me forever, so beautifully written
A completely unforgettable and unique family memoir. A total cliché but I honestly couldn't put it down
A real tear-jerker
'Beautifully-written, calm-but-utterly-compelling life-story of trauma and healing... the author seems lovely and I want to be her pal!'
At a time when so many families are losing loved ones, and are denied even the scant comfort funerals provide, there is no more poignant moment for this book to appear
This is one of the best books I've read about grief - and the catastrophic consequences of addiction. Exquisitely written. Profoundly moving
Gavanndra Hodge's moving memoir recounts the consequences of an early life framed by beauty, glamour and tragedy
A heartbreaking and compelling memoir
Looks at the power of love and loss in shaping one's life. Moving and beautifully written
The must-read of the summer
So brilliantly written . . . ultimately joyful and uplifting
Brave and beautifully written
There are books - and then there are books that you'll never forget reading. A quite extraordinary memoir
I read it in one sitting without pause. It is an astonishing book. I haven't stopped thinking about it
A wonderful and transformative memoir about the impact of loss and the power of love; and one that illustrates how it is never too late to tackle suppressed grief
I read this in one sitting, tears splashing onto its pages. A beautiful book about grief, losing a sibling, trauma, drugs, parenting & memory in the most exquisite way. Please everyone read it
This book is genuinely extraordinary
Life affirming [...] an enrapturing journey through darkness, destructive behaviour and an urgency for light and happiness now
A powerful memoir
Timely and highly original
Brilliant and moving
The Consequences of Love is undoubtedly one of this year's most hotly-anticipated books, and with good reason
Brilliantly written and heartbreaking but also joyful and uplifting
Extraordinary . . . profoundly moving
A brave, lyrical, painful tale of bereavement, addiction, and the building of a new life
Superbly written. Beautifully written and utterly heartbreaking. Courageous, inspired, bleakly comic, extreme candour
Searing
Hodge's beautiful memoir is both a devastating, grief-fuelled account of her sister's death and a redemptive tale of an emotional reckoning
It's a vivid and oddly entertaining memoir, a hand plunged into the dark hole of grief . . . uncovers surprising treasures - most importantly, strength, resilience and love
Searing. A masterful writer with a gift for storytelling. Her prose is rich with detail, combining a sharp sense of place with escalating drama. A triumph
The most moving, most exquisitely written book about addiction, grief, loss and coming to terms with trauma even decades on. One that you will be thinking about, and remember long after finishing
One of the most beautiful memoirs I've ever read. This story will say with you long after you put the book down
I just turned the last page (reluctantly!). A bold, often brutal exploration of memory, grief and love. Full of hope and heart. I can't recommend it enough
A brave, brilliant book that is both beautiful and important. Read it then buy it for all your friends
Gavanndra's memoirThe Consequences of Loveis absolutely beautiful. It's compelling, heartbreaking, sweet, honest, fascination. I recommend it HIGHLY. I absolutely LOVED it.
This stunning exploration of grief is so well written and profoundly moving
An elegant study of grief and memory
Hodge pours heartbreak and love into the pages of a book that never pretends to know the answers, and is all the better for it
An eye-opening snapshot of the fashion world in '90s London
