Sometimes the people who have the power to change your life are the ones who have been there all along...

Like stars in the dark skies above the tiny island where she grew up, freckles scatter Allegra Bird's arms, a link to her beloved father. She's never known her mother.

In a quest to find the one thing she's missing she begins a bold new life in Dublin. But she's left a lot behind.

So when a stranger tells her she's the sum of five people - the five people she spends the most time with - she's suddenly no longer seeking one person. She's looking for five.

And the truth lies in unexpected places...

Life-affirming, beautiful and thought-provoking, Freckles is an unforgettable novel of five people, five chances and one woman's search for happiness.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

When a stranger utters these words to Allegra Bird, nicknamed Freckles, it turns her highly ordered life upside down. In her current life as a parking warden, she has left her eccentric father and unconventional childhood behind for a bold new life in the city.

But a single encounter leads her to ask the question she’s been avoiding for so long: who are the people who made her the way she is? And who are the five people who can shape and determine her future? Just as she once joined the freckles on her skin to mirror the constellations in the night sky, she must once again look for connections.

Told in Allegra’s vivid, original voice, moving from Dublin to the fierce Atlantic coast, this is an unforgettable story of human connection, of friendship, and growing into your own skin.

Five people. Five stars. Freckle to freckle. Star to star.
