Description

“You are the arithmetic mean of the five people you communicate with the most,” Allege Bird tells an unfamiliar young man. Those words hurt and wound the girl: are there actually such people in her life? Allege, whom everyone calls Freckles, is 24. She was raised by a single father and never saw her mother—Spanish beauty Carmenсita. Maybe her mother should be among those five? Between the harsh Atlantic coastline of Ireland, where her father and old friends remain, and the wealthy suburb of Dublin, where Freckles lives and works, but still feels like an outsider, she searches for her runaway mother—searches for “her tribe,” and most importantly, searches for herself.

Told in the vivid, lively voice of the heroine, it’s an unforgettable story about human relationships, about kinship of blood and spirit, about friendship, and about how to become yourself—a poignant, soul-stirring coming-of-age novel.
