Little Fires Everywhere

"Witty, wise, and tender. It.s a marvel." -Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water

"I read Little Fires Everywhere in a single, breathless sitting. With brilliance and beauty, Celeste Ng dissects a microcosm of American society just when we need to see it beneath the microscope: how do questions of race stack up against the comfort of privilege, and what role does that play in parenting? Is motherhood a bond forged by blood, or by love? And perhaps most importantly: do the faults of our past determine what we deserve in the future? Be ready to be wowed by Ng.s writing - and unsettled by the mirror held up to one.s own beliefs." - Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and Leaving Time

"Delectable and engrossing...A complex and compulsively readable suburban saga that is deeply invested in mothers and daughters...What Ng has written, in this thoroughly entertaining novel, is a pointed and persuasive social critique, teasing out the myriad forms of privilege and predation that stand between so many people and their achievement of the American dream. But there is a heartening optimism, too. This is a book that believes in the transformative powers of art and genuine kindness - and in the promise of new growth, even after devastation, even after everything has turned to ash." -Boston Globe

"[Ng] widens her aperture to include a deeper, more diverse cast of characters. Though the book.s language is clean and straightforward, almost conversational, Ng has an acute sense of how real people (especially teenagers, the slang-slinging kryptonite of many an aspiring novelist) think and feel and communicate. Shaker Heights may be a place where "things were peaceful, and riots and bombs and earthquakes were quiet thumps, muffled by distance.. But the real world is never as far away as it seems, of course. And if the scrim can.t be broken, sometimes you have to burn it down. Grade: A-" -Entertainment Weekly
