Little Fires Everywhere

I spent the last third of this book tearing up and calming down and tearing up and calming down and then just tearing up until the last page which did make me just cry. Incredible prose, incredible characters, incredible emotion. Themes of motherhood, racial and class boundaries and what it takes to maintain them without ever actually putting a physical gate up, of judgement and hatred masquerading as love, as regret and hope, of art and love; Ng just does not stop with the punches. My god. If this has been on your list, you have to read it today. YESTERDAY!!
