Celeste Ng, "Little Fires Everywhere" (w/ Nicole Chung)

Ng’s eagerly awaited follow-up to the award-winning Everything I Never Told You is set squarely in the heartland of the American dream. Shaker Heights is a progressive suburban community, seemingly zoned for neighborliness and order. Then Mia, a single mother, moves in with her teenage daughter, Pearl. An anomaly among the conventional nuclear families, the two threaten the assumptions Shaker Heights is built on.
