Book Report - Little Fires Everywhere

Little Fires Everywhere, By Celeste Ng

Dredging...as in bringing up the muck at the bottom of a harbor or river to the surface has mixed results. Is it worth stirring up all the swamp stuff that had been safely buried beneath the water? Same thing goes for people’s lives. Why don’t people think long and hard first before dredging up the muck in other people’s pasts?

Little Fires Everywhere is a beautifully crafted tale of what happens when someone, for the supposed benefit of the greater good, dredges up the past and unleashes it on the present.  A truly twisted suburban tale...good enough to be read in one sitting.
