This is one of those books that I always saw, but never did read the plot carefully to see if I really wanted to read it plus I always have too many books that I want to read to add another one. When I found it in my Little Free Library, I said here's my chance before someone else grabbed it. Very interesting book with three plots going on at the same time. It took a while to get to the crux of the book (almost half way through). I liked the Richardson family with their stair step kids all in high school but Izzy was a world apart from her siblings. Always angry, stating her point of view mostly in anger. I didn't like the way that their parents treated her. I'm thinking maybe because she was premature her mother was over protective. Doubtful in my opinion. I didn't like the way that Mrs. Richardson (and why were they called that throughout the book except once in a while Elena and Bill) treated her tenant Mia and her daughter Pearl who fit into their life well with the kids so close in age to her, like they were vagabonds (even though they practically were) and looking into Mia's life. Shouldn't she have done that before they moved in? The open ending didn't do it for me. I wanted to know what happened in the future with everyone. I listened to this book during the pandemic quarantine. It was enjoyable to listen to during long walks in my neighborhood. This book beautifully blends several themes: the meaning of motherhood, racism and microaggression, art and the creative process, families and the power of secrets, teen- age angst, non- conformity, and suburban living. The author creates vivid and believable characters. By the way, I despise Elena Richardson, but in the end, I had compassion for her plight! This book makes the reader think. During the courtroom scene, the characters talk about books and childrens' dolls as mirrors and as a parent and teacher, I could not agree more. I am definitely putting other books by Celeste Ng on my reading list. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:PREMIO GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS 2017 «Una espectacular segunda obra. Una historia épica, compleja, perfecta para lectores entusiastas y destinada a recibir muchos premios.» Library Journal «La impresionante segunda novela de Ng es un examen a varios niveles de cómo se forjan y mantienen las identidades, cómo se forman las familias y se prueban las amistades. Y de cómo el concepto de maternidad es mucho más fluido de lo que la sangre sugiere... Un tour de force.» Booklist En Shaker Heights, una tranquila y próspera zona residencial de Cleveland, todo está planeado, desde el trazado de las carreteras hasta los colores de las casas, incluso el triunfal futuro de sus vecinos. Nadie encarna mejor este espíritu que Elena Richardson, cuya vida se rige por un principio fundamental: jugar siempre dentro de las reglas sociales. La historia comienza cuando Mia Warren, artista enigmática y madre soltera, llega a esta idílica burbuja con Pearl, su hija adolescente. Mia lleva consigo un pasado misterioso y un desprecio por las reglas que acabarán amenazando esta comunidad tan cuidadosamente ordenada. Pequeños fuegos por todas partes, segunda novela de Celeste Ng tras la celebrada Todo lo que no te conté, explora el peso de los secretos largamente guardados y la fuerza del instinto maternal. También el peligro de los que creen que llevar una vida convencional y planificada, donde se respeta el cumplimiento de las reglas, puede evitar el desastre o la angu No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Not your typical "angst in the suburbs" book. Ng peels back the layers on these characters and gives the reader much to ponder. A great choice for book clubs! ( )
