‘Powered by the pain of grief and the joy of love, We Are All Constellations is a deeply compelling coming of age story that deals honestly and unflinchingly with the agonies of discovering your past may not be all that you believed. Amy Beashel's exquisite prose is full of heart and her characters will stay with you long after the final page. I loved it.’
We Are All Constellations
Amy BeashelA heartbreaking but hope-filled tale about the stories we tell ourselves to survive…
You are strong. You are brave. You are not alone.
Seventeen-year-old Iris is happy. She might not have her mother but she refuses to let her past determine who she is. Then Iris finds out the truth about her mum’s death.
As her childhood memories prove uncertain, not even her friends or new love interest Orla can help her make sense of them. Reeling from the discovery, Iris is forced to question everything she knows about her friends, her family and herself. But can she find a new future now her eyes are open to the past?
