“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
I’m currently reading this exquisitely written novel with the rest of my fellow curlers and have been deeply moved by the pathos apparent at every turn of the page in Ms. Ng’s second literary fiction effort.
I’ll save my final thoughts on the book as a whole once I’m done, but so far me likes very, very muchly.
