Popis knihy

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 [Ng's] descriptions are so dead-on you can practically see the Cleveland skyline as you ride shotgun with these characters. - Glamour Takes unerring aim at upper-middle-class America's blind spots...a nuanced study of mothers and daughters and the burden of not belonging to our families or our communities. - Vogue Totally absorbing, each character drawn so well it makes it impossible to decide whose side you're on. - Marie Claire Fans of novelist Celeste Ng's debut, Everything I Never Told You , and devotees of her resistance-ready Twitter feed can rejoice...The story drifts effortlessly between characters; each is full and memorable as they coax the novel to its fiery climax. Ng reminds us that action is a choice, and you'll want to keep reading until the last irreversible actions play out. - Bust Ng's taut class drama is calibrated for fireworks. - New York Magazine , Books to Read This Fall A captivating examination of motherhood, identity, family, privilege, and community. - Buzzfeed Ng's uncanny ability to embody multiple viewpoints makes for a powerful, revelatory novel. - BBC.com, Ten Books to Read in September The un-put-downable story that everyone will be talking about this Fall. A must read for book clubs. - PopSugar An intricate and captivating portrait of an eerily perfect suburban town with its dark undertones not-quite-hidden from view and a powerful and suspenseful novel about motherhood...Ng explores the complexities of adoption, surrogacy, abortion, privacy, and class, questioning all the while who earns, who claims, and who loses the right to be called a mother...an impressive accomplishment. - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Ng's stunning second novel is a multilayered examination of how identities are forged and maintained, how families are formed and friendships tested, and how the notion of motherhood is far more fluid than bloodlines would suggest...[A] tour de force.- Booklist (starred review) This incandescent portrait of suburbia and family, creativity, and consumerism burns bright... As in Everything I Never Told You , Ng conjures a sense of place and displacement and shows a remarkable ability to see-and reveal-a story from different perspectives. The characters she creates here are wonderfully appealing, and watching their paths connect-like little trails of flame leading inexorably toward one another to create a big inferno-is mesmerizing, casting into new light ideas about creativity and consumerism, parenthood and privilege. With her second novel, Ng further proves she's a sensitive, insightful writer with a striking ability to illuminate life in America. - Kirkus Reviews (starred) Spectacular sophomore work...a magnificent, multilayered epic that's perfect for eager readers and destined for major award lists. -- Library Journal (starred review) Little Fires Everywhere takes us deep into other people's homes and lives and darkest corners. Along the way, Celeste Ng is always witty, engrossing, unsparing and original. -- Meg Wolitzer Little Fires Everywhere is a dazzlingly protean work - a comedy of manners that doubles as a social novel and reads like a thriller.
