(ᶜᵉˡᵉˢᵗᵉ ᴺᵍ)A story highlighting the contrasting lives of others, the influence our choices make, the importance of being kind, and how race and class are as relevant as ever.I read 'Everything I never told you' a while back, which is when I first realised how strong my love for family-dynamics in a books wore. This one was no different in that aspect. It considered the winding overlap between two very different families, living in the same neighbourhood.Celeste Ng takes the reader deep into the lives of each character, weaving storylines together to create the complex idea of others' lives.It made me think about how different my life would be if just one thing was different, especially the impact our parents have on us.I found myself changing my opinions of the characters so much in this book, as details are uncovered and events take place.The book has one main storyline running through that tackles race, class, adoption, values and mistakes, which is told in such a compelling way that makes you really debate where you stand.Celeste also looks at the differences in how people choose to live their lives; those who follow rules and those who are more free-spirited; those who work for money and those who work for love; those who find kindness in everyone and those who struggle with it.I really enjoyed this book, it was slow at times but honestly it's worth the noise it's created. Can't wait to see if the series lives up to the hype. 😁 4/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great book

رواية ممتعة وكتاب أصلى

La Saison des feux raconte l’histoire de deux femmes, Elena et Mia. La première élève ses quatre enfants à Shaker Heights, la banlieue chic de Cleveland, et travaille comme journaliste. (Mais sa carrière n’a jamais vraiment décollé, ce qu’elle commence à regretter.) La seconde est une artiste qui voyage à travers tout le pays avec sa fille unique et ne passe jamais plus de quelques mois au même endroit. Elles se rencontrent lorsque Mia devient la locataire d’Elena. Par le biais de leurs enfants, leurs vie s’entremêlent de plus en plus, ce qui fait remonter de nombreux secrets à la surface, des secrets qui menacent de faire exploser tout ce qu’Elena et Mia ont construit jusqu’ici…Les ami-e-s, faites-moi confiance et faites confiance aux critiques dithyrambiques, ce bouquin est génial. L’intrigue est à la fois captivante et profondément humaine. Je me suis énormément attachée aux personnages, car Celeste Ng nous explique parfaitement leurs motivations, et on comprend les réactions de chacun même quand on n’est pas d’accord avec eux. Mais j’ai également été épatée par la description de la vie à Shaker Heights, qui constitue à mes yeux un personnage à part entière. On se rend très vite compte que cette communauté n’est pas aussi progressiste et ouverte d’esprit qu’elle aimerait le faire croire, mais l’autrice réussit à critiquer ce style de vie sans tomber dans le jugement. Elle nous présente les faits et nous laisse nous faire notre propre opinion, ce qui est, je trouve, la marque d’une grande écrivaine.

5 Amazing Bright Shiny Stars! I would given it 100 Goodreads would let me.Little Fires Everywhere is a novel that far surpasses any other that I have ever read. I don't know how Celeste Ng did it. It is a brilliantly written novel with intricate, rich and wholly vivid characters whose lives are so fully intertwined you can't help but read on in bewildered awe of how Celeste Ng created these characters. My nerve endings were fully engaged on high alert from the first sentence.Shaker Heights, Ohio is an affluent town with rules and regulations like no other. Mrs. Richardson lives by them, having been raised by them and she has raised her four children (Lexie, Trip, Moody and Izzy) to abide by them as well. She rents a little apartment in Shaker Heights to Mia Warren and her daughter Pearl, who are less fortunate. Mia is a free spirited artist, who lives life to the fullest. These women have one thing in common and one thing only: they love their children immensely and they accept each other's as their own. Mia (or rather Ms. Ng) describes it beautifully:"To a parent, your child wasn't just a person, your child was a place, a kind of Narnia, a vast eternal place where the present you were living and the past you remembered and the future you longed for all existed at once. You could see it every time you looked at her; layered in her face was the baby she'd been and the child she'd become and the adult she would grow up to be and you saw them all simultaneously, like a 3-D image. It made your head spin. It was like a place you could take refuge, if you knew how to get in. And each time you left it, each time your child passed out of your sigh, you feared you might never be able to return to that place again."Neither live perfect lives, sometimes in fact they make grave mistakes, yet their love for their children never falters.These mothers relationships with each other, their family and everyone in town is threatened when a custody battle ensues between a friend of the Richardsons, Mrs. and Mr. McCullough, who are in the middle of adopting a Chinese American baby and a friend of Mia's, Bebe, who is the birth mother. This battle wrecks havoc on the town and causes incredible strife between the families.This novel is captivating and crazy compelling. These characters burn an indelible image onto your soul. The character of Izzy, Mrs. Richardson's daughter had me from the beginning (kind of like Hannah from Ms. Ng's Everything I Never Told You - which I also loved). Izzy has a strength and over came odds that most children in her position wouldn't. Her triumphs made my heart soar.Somehow Ms. Ng made me change my mind about some of the characters throughout the course of this novel. In the beginning, I felt one way about two of the characters and then by the end, I did a complete switcheroo, and my feelings about them FIERCE.Little Fires everywhere brought forth laughter and lots of tears. It is that kind of novel. I can't recommend it highly enough. It is captivating, compelling and full of heart and soul. Celeste Ng's ability to intertwine the characters and storylines was wondrous, brilliant ad beautiful. I loved every second of this book. It has now topped my list as my FAVORITE BOOK of ALL TIME.Little Fires Everywhere was a Traveling Sister Group Read and included Brenda, Norma, Jennifer, Holly, Melissa & Kendall. We all had a fabulous time reading this one together - the group discussions for this incredible read were amazing and I look forward to our next read together.Thank you to Edelweiss, Penguin Press and Celeste Ng for an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.Published on Goodreads, Edelweiss and Amazon on 9.17.17.

This story is based on the author’s hometown known as full of diversity and utopia. And it describes the fabric of human relations woven by two families, the rich and poor.The story gives you variously engaging events one by one that will never get you bored. On the contrary, you sure get glued and can’t put down the book.We often perceive that the rich have arrogance and pride even though they devote themselves to charities a lot.The two families seem to be getting along well, but I think you’ll feel that between the lines especially expressed by Mrs. Richardson..
