‘Little Fires Everywhere is a straight-up thriller…From the beginning, Ng’s confident use of the omniscient voice signals that this is a writer in total control…While the plot whisks you breathlessly along, it lays out the bones of a debate about race and parenthood’ Sunday Times, Pick of the Paperbacks
‘Just finished Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng and now I feel bereft’ Nigella Lawson
‘Just read it. It’s a masterclass in characterisation. Outstanding ‘ Matt Haig
‘To say I love this book is an understatement. It’s a deep psychological mystery about the power of motherhood, the intensity of teenage love, and the danger of perfection. It moved me to tears’ Reese Witherspoon
‘The book of the moment’ India Knight, Sunday Times
‘I am loving Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. Maybe my favorite novel I’ve read this year’ John Green, author of The Fault in Our Stars
‘Little Fires Everywhere is already setting America ablaze…it held me completely, from start to finish – held me in the sense that even when I wasn’t reading it, some part of my head was straining to find out where it would lead next…what will absolutely ensure the success of this book is that while the plot whisks you breathlessly along, it lays out the bones of a debate about race and parenthood – a debate in which Ng deftly, dutifully ensures that everyone has a point’ Sunday Times
