Suburban perfection meets rebellious artistic chaos.

"Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng explores the complexities of motherhood, adolescence, and the illusion of control within a seemingly perfect community. Ng's characters are vivid and her storytelling is so compelling it's likely to keep you engrossed late into the night. The intricate dynamics and secrets that unravel as the plot progresses can make you question the very nature of rules and the risks of challenging status quo. It's a profound read that beautifully contrasts the fiery spirit of youth against the ordered backdrop of suburbia.

Description

Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down. In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned - from the layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principal is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town - and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost... The brilliant new novel from the author of the New York Times bestseller, Everything I Never Told You.
