On the 3rd book for reading a book a week. Last week I finished reading "Little Fires Everywhere", by Celeste Ng.
The story begins with a house on fire. Elena Richardson somehow escaped from the fire. It was scary to know, the house was put on fire by some one.
They cannot find Izzy, the youngest child of the Richardsons. Their tenant Mia and her daughter vacated the house.
The story happens in the 1090s. Mia Warren and her daughter rented a little home owned by Richardsons. When the house was fire, Mia already vacated from the home.
We learn the background of Mia and Elena through the story. Finally, we understand who set the fire and why.
There is a Netflix show loosely based on the novel. There are considerable difference between two though.
When Elena's friend is trying to adopt a Chinese baby and the mother of the child shows up, Elena and Mia have different ideas. Suspected of Mia's motives, Elena digs out Mia's past. During this time, many things were happening in her home. Her daughter Lexie got an abortion. Trip fell in love with Mia's daughter Pearl and Izzy becomes Mia's unpaid assistant.
The author takes up to Shaker and its planned life. Then make us ride with characters.
Who started the fire and why? Ever wondered, how many little fires we started in our lives already??
