Siegal Lifelong Learning will facilitate an in-depth discussion on Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere.
Set in Shaker Heights, Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the pull of motherhood, teenage angst – and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster. Celeste Ng’s second prize wining novel is filled with riveting characters, whose differing points of view pull at the reader’s heartstrings. When Ng introduces the unconventional Warrens as tenants for the affluent Richardsons, their intertwined relationships result in the unraveling of assumptions about what kind of a life brings happiness. Ng tackles, not only class and identity, but also racial tensions and family dynamics in a seemingly idyllic suburban setting.
This series will be facilitated by Sylvia Abrams.
