She holds the deep belief that everything in life is manageable, as long as it is properly planned for.
Richardson has a strong, albeit rigid, sense of right and wrong, and is respected within her community. She meets her husband at college, and upon graduation, returns to Shaker Heights to raise her family in exactly the matter she had planned. Richardson grew up in Shaker Heights, an orderly neighborhood designed for “the good life” where everything has its place and everyone knows the rules to abide by. On the one hand, there is the Richardson family, which consists of mother, father and four teenage children. It describes in incredible, rich detail the lives of two very different types of families and the way each of their lives become intimately intertwined, impacting deeply on one another until the relationships become impossible to sustain. The story takes place in Shaker Heights, where the author herself grew up, a progressive and well-to-do suburb of Cleveland that was built in 1912 as one of the first planned communities in the nation. Ng’s prose is impressive, visually tantalizing and imaginative, and her ability to weave a multitude of story lines together, masterful. ISBN 978-0-7352-2429-2Ĭeleste Ng’s second novel, Little Fires Everywhere, has been highly acclaimed, quickly becoming a New York Times Bestseller, for very good reason.
