Little Fires Everywhere

Shaker Heights er en lille idylisk forstad til Cleveland i Ohio, hvis nøjeregnende og perfektionistiske indbyggere planlægger alt fra ligusterhækkenes højde til deres naboers liv ned til den allermindste detalje. Byens ultimative regelrytter er nok Elena Richardson, hvis verden bliver vendt på hovedet, efter hun udlejer et hus til forstadens nyeste beboere: den enigmatiske kunstner og alenemor Mia og hendes teenagedatter Pearl. I Celeste Ngs "Little Fires Everywhere" bliver Elenas fire børn alle dybt fascinerede af den mystiske og normbrydende lille familie, mens Elena selv bliver besat af tanken om at afdække Mias mørkeste hemmeligheder. "Little Fires Everywhere" af Celeste Ng er en fængslende og ekstremt spændende roman om en lille fredelig verden, der lidt efter lidt bryder ud i kaos efter to kvinder med stridende livssyn støder dramatisk og uhelbredeligt sammen.

"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.
