Book Review: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng.
‘To a parent, your child wasn’t just a person: your child was a place , a kind of Narnia, a vast eternal place where the present you were living and the past you remembered and the future you longed for all existed at once.’ – Celeste Ng, Little Fires Everywhere. Today is Mother’s Day in Australia and I decided to reflect on just one book this year around the theme of mothers. I decided to focus on this masterpiece by Celeste Ng because it shows a unique plot of motherhood. This novel centres on a custody battle for a beautiful baby girl. Little Fires Everywhere is a King Solomon dilemma for modern society. What makes a mother? Two mothers both with a profound love for one baby. Both mothers are very different but loving women with their own individual flaws and shortcomings. Who should have custody? Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon are the stars of the new mini series based on this best selling novel. Little Fires Everywhere will be broadcasted in Austr
