Then there are the Richardsons, your perfect picket fence American family. However, their simple life couldn’t have gotten any more interesting as decades old secrets are revealed and families conspire against each other. They live minimally, on part-time jobs and income from Mia’s art. Mia Warren, a single mother raising her daughter through a constant pattern of new schools, new jobs, and new towns. A place untouched by hatred, fear, and discrimination, at least until Mia Warren and her daughter, Pearl, move into town.
The novel takes place in Ng’s hometown, Shaker Heights Ohio, a seemingly idyllic location where doors remain unlocked and the grass is always perfectly mowed. Then in 2020 Hulu published a tv show about the book starring Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. It was later picked as the book of the month for Reeses Book Club. The book was published in 2017 by Penguin Press. The novel is a fantastic quick read for anyone that enjoys a story filled with mystery, anger, art, identity, family, love, secrets, humor, and everything in between.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is a gripping tale of two very different families with two very different backgrounds.
