    Superb novel - compelling plot, strong characters, thought provoking, well written
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2018*

Celeste Ng's second novel opens dramatically: a family home in a respectable American town is burning down, the result of arson by the family's youngest daughter.  As the remaining family members - parents and three teenage children - gather on the lawn in shock, the reader is immediately desperate to know what happened to lead to this.  A couple of juicy hints are dropped, and then we return to the beginning of the story proper.It is a compelling story with a great plot, strong characters, and some unexpected twists.  Even though it opens with the dramatic conclusion, the fire itself is not the item of interest - the good story lies in why Izzy Richardson was motivated to start 'little fires everywhere' in her own home and then disappear.  The novel details the lives and characters of the Richardson children and their mother (their father is present but remains mostly in the background).  An artist and her teenage daughter move into the second home that the Richardson's rent out, and soon both become involved with the Richardson family members.  Meanwhile, friends of the Richardson family are thrown into a court battle for custody of an abandoned baby they'd been in the process of adopting.  The court case quickly catches the imagination of the small town and soon everyone has chosen one side or the other, and this leads to strain within the Richardsons and with their tenants.It's a complex, captivating story, cleverly weaving together several plot threads but all around the strong central theme of motherhood and what makes a good mother.  Is being a biological parent more important than being capable of caring for a child?  Should cross-cultural adoption be encouraged?  Is it more responsible to have an abortion than try to raise a child that you are not in a position to give a great life to?  Is love alone enough, or are stability and wealth as or more important?  All of these are key questions tackled within the book, and relationships between parents and children are explored in many different ways.  It never provides answers to these questions, but it makes you think, and more importantly they make for a deep, moving and sometimes painful story.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good literary novel.  It's well written, easy to rad and well paced.  Both characterisation and plot are strong.  It's hard to put down and yet also deep and thought provoking.  Ng's first novel, 'Everything I Never Told You' was a fantastic debut and I was concerned she'd be a one-hit wonder.  But this book is just as good, perhaps even better in some ways.  She is certainly an extremely talented writer and I can't wait to read her next book.

    Cleverly structured and well thought through ending
  

*by J***U on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2022*

So many people I know have read this book but I didn't get round to it when it was first published. There has been lots of praise for it so, having finally bought it, I was looking forward to reading this novel.It has 388 pages, split into 20 chapters.Initially the book has quite a mundane feeling but I realised that it was much deeper than that. The characters are all well drawn and their interactions show cleverly nuanced relationships.The book has many themes - parenting, teenage infatuation and community values are all key recurring concepts which weave around the main plotlines.I loved Shaker Heights where the characters lived, with its rules and orderly way of life. We see the community's methodical approach being gradually softened as the generations move on - the reader is encouraged to consider whether these changes are for the better or not.The time period is not mentioned until well into the novel, however references to technology mean that you can't help but try to place the action.The first third of the book concentrates on setting up the characters and their connections before the main plot strand is revealed which comes as a surprise even though there has been a few hints. The rest of the book then deals with how the characters react.Also around the main plot there are explorations of class and the life expectations that come from background.Celeste Ng also considers the changes between the generations in a clever way. Mrs Richardson is usually referred to with her full name, differentiating her from Mis and the younger generation - this is thought provoking.After the first couple of chapters I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the book as it was quite superficial. I soon realised how wrong I was though and was really pleased I stuck with it as there are many moral issues about parenting that are considered in very interesting ways. No judgements are made by the author even though she forces many of the characters to have some strong opinions about the others involved. The moral dilemmas in this book made me think a lot.CN includes everyone who appears in this book. Even characters that appear for just a few paragraphs get a back story - this makes the story feel very complete and encourages the reader to see the full picture.I'm often critical of book endings but this one was well thought through and cleverly structured.
