5 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
From the bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You, a riveting novel that traces the intertwined fates of the picture-perfect Richardson family and the enigmatic mother and daughter who upend their lives.In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned--from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors 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 principle is playing by the rules.Enter Mia Warren--an enigmatic artist and single mother--who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than 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 status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.When old family friends of the Richardsons 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 unexpected and devastating costs.Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood--and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

While all but one of the characters were very one-note, the one who might have been the most complex as the character, with a foot in both worlds, was instead a cipher. The Author apparently wanted to fit every type of mother into the novel.

Little Fires Everywhere shows how small decisions can accumulate turning into a blaze. Good intentions can broadcast superiority not kindness. A mother‘s worry can become so layered in relentless criticism that it becomes unrecognisable even to itself. Being inconspicuous can in fact make you conspicuous. These little fires can be the events, people, choices…or just the spirit of being willing to burn it all down for something - or for someone.

It‘s a very low key, quiet Saturday here at my house. Only the kittens are making loads of noise chasing each other through the house. Shaker Heights, the setting of this book, isn‘t far from me. It‘s fun to read about all of the local places mentioned in this book that I‘ve visited. #readyourway #bookspinbingo
