Freckles Cecelia Ahern

HARPER COLLINS

Irish author Cecelia Ahern has a fondness for writing about outsiders, and her latest novel, Freckles, will no doubt resonate with readers of her 13 best-selling novels. Allegra Bird, aka Freckles, grew up with her eccentric father. Now in her early 20s, she wants to meet the mother who disowned her at birth, so she takes a job in Dublin to be close by. But an insult from a stranger makes her confront what she’s been avoiding, and her highly organised life is turned upside down. Thoughtful, inspiring storytelling with believable characters you’ll fall in love with.
