Junior Trev is sports-minded, handsome and thoughtless. Lizzie is the oldest, a confident, self-assured young woman who sees the world as her oyster.
The Richardsons have four children, each just a year apart. Elena is the driving force behind many aspects of the novel, including the Warrens coming into the Richardson’s lives and the circumstances of their leaving again.

The Richardson family has six members: Mr. The Warrens are a mother-daughter duo intensely bonded but also isolated by their frequent moves and struggles to get by. Little Fires Everywhere is an incredibly page-turning, intense novel about the connections that unfold between two families. That is the case with this novel, which seems to have been generally well-reviewed, and which I generally agree with other reviews I’d seen prior to reading the book. While I don’t mind reviewing popular works, especially if my opinion differs vastly from the usual, sometimes it simply doesn’t seem like there is much for me to add to the discourse. Sometimes I hesitate to review a book because it feels like everything there is to be said about that work is already out there. NOTE: This is a work of fiction although I’m not posting it on Fiction Friday.Ī tense novel about the unexpected connections between two families, which change all of their lives. Penguin, Penguin Random House, my edition 2019 (originally published in 2017). Little Fires Everywhere: A Novel by Celeste Ng.
