Publisher's Summary

What if the people who have the power to change your life are the ones who have been there all along… 

Like stars in the night sky, freckles are scattered across Allegra Bird’s arms, a legacy from her beloved father.

Her legacy from her mother is more complicated–until one question from a stranger inspires a change. What if it isn’t about fitting in, but finding the people who make you who you are? Who would those people be?

As she searches for connection, Allegra is about to find out that it is our differences that make life worth living–if only someone can help you to join the dots . . .

Cecelia Ahern’s previous novel Postscript was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 16th September 2019.

Critic Reviews

"Freckles is a beautiful, hopeful book when the world needs hope most. Cecelia has written a novel about our search for our authentic selves in a crazy world. Like all her novels, it's inspiring, life-affirming and full of insight." (Cathy Kelly)

"Cleverly constructed, full of flavour and moving." (Daily Mail)

"As this gorgeous novel illuminates, life goes on, even in the wake of loss." (Nicholas Sparks, best-selling author of The Notebook)

"A warm and bittersweet tale about finding yourself through family and friendship." (Sunday Telegraph)

"Everything a greedy reader wants: a moving story, absorbing characters, engaging writing and as much of a page-turner as you’d expect." (Irish Times)

Disappointed

I usually love a Cecelia Ahern book. They are usually a little qerky. You'll laugh, you'll cry.

This story could have been told in a few chapters but just went on and on about nothing. I couldn't wait for it to end.

The only good thing was the narration. Read beautifully.

Cecelia never disappoints

I just love how cecelia writes creative stories to set her apart from others. Freckles makes you assess your circle of friends and life path. And with the Irish accent thrown in - brilliant!!!

Don’t like parking wardens

I’m sorry to say but the character was just too unlikable for me. The story was good though and still listened to the end.

Flat and frustrated

There were moments that this story had some special messages. But it did drag on and so much wallowing in self pity and loathing. And I feel something was missing from the storyline. Loved the narrator - I think she rescued the story. If I had been reading this story I’m sure I would have given up.
