Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste NgRead about another entry on the list.
We know you’ve seen the Emmy-nominated show starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, but have you read the book that started it all? Engrossing, complex and poised, Celeste Ng explores the power of perception, the friction between creativity and conformity, and the futility of trying to outrun your past in this compelling domestic drama. Following two families in one stuffy Cleveland suburb, Ng asks questions of race, identity and class that makes this a perfect read (and discussion) for any book club.
Little Fires Everywhere is among Beth Morrey‘s top ten single mothers in fiction, R.J. Hoffmann's six titles featuring adoptions gone awry, Amy Stuart's five thrilling novels with deeply flawed fictional characters you’ll learn to appreciate as you turn the pages and Kate Hamer's top ten teenage friendships in fiction.
