Overview

The #1 New York Times bestseller

Soon to be a Hulu original series starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington.

"I read Little Fires Everywhere in a single, breathless sitting." --Jodi Picoult

"To say I love this book is an understatement. It's a deep psychological mystery about the power of motherhood, the intensity of teenage love, and the danger of perfection. It moved me to tears." --Reese Witherspoon

"Extraordinary . . . books like Little Fires Everywhere don't come along often." --John Green

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.

  • What makes a mother? A questions about choices we make and how they effect our children.

    Karen F. - 5 years 10 months ago

    "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng is a poignant look at what makes a mother. Free spirited Mia and rule following Elena both exhibit strengths and flaws that make the reader consider the "nature versa nurture" debate. Each choice these women make effect the lives of their children. Woven into this beautifully worded story is the question of "Who" is the mother through the Bebe and Linda plot line. I loved the word choices that created such visual images. As much as I enjoyed the story, I reveled in the language #SummerReadiing

    It took me a minute or two to get into the book. But once I got there, it was no stopping! I really enjoyed how Mia’s character expanded as the story went on. #SummerReading

    I like Celeste Ng. This is a solid story with really interesting characters and a unique plot line. I'm glad I read it before I started watching the show. I hope to see more from Celeste Ng soon.
