Summary
In her moments of lucidity, Caprise Redek tells her daughter that heartbreak happens in threes. But Marella's life attracts her to the number with a curious determination: three unicorn hairs misplaced by Autumn winds, three giggly girls in a garden, three beautiful gowns, three times she falls to the ground. Before she meets Sophie Foster, her whole life might as well be chiseled and engraved with dozens of little number threes. Here are the constants in her life: she's a lonely little girl with an ear for gossip; the sky is blue; the sun is warm; when she looks to her left and to her right, she sees Biana Vacker and Maruca Chebota, like three trees growing side-by-side.
Or: the reason behind Marella's hatred of nicknames, Biana's wariness of girls, and Maruca's guarded heart.
