![]() ![]() ![]() Mia Warren and her daughter Pearl have been moving place to place, sometimes living in their car, to accomodate Mia’s career as an artist and her apparent inability to stay still. The ‘little fires everywhere’ (in my opinion) refers to the many, many mistakes that each of the fairly large cast of characters makes throughout the novel. The ‘mystery’ of who set the fire really isn’t a big part of the novel in my opinion. ![]() In fact, I’d go so far as to say this could be considered a ‘coming of age’ novel, since there are so many aspects teenage angst in this book. It’s about how our actions as parents can unwittingly affect our children, especially as they move into young adulthood. Instead, it is a story of motherhood and the thin line between right and wrong. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng is not, as I had originally anticipated, a thriller or suspense novel. ![]()
