Celeste Ng had this to say about her book:
"...All the characters in Little Fires Everywhere are doing something they think is
justified and moral. I wanted this book to be a space for looking at people who seem
like villains to us in order to understand how they got to where they are. If we
understand how they got to where they are, then we have a better chance connecting
with them in some way. There are very few real villains in the world, just like I think
there are very few heroes. Most people are trying to do their best. It just happens
that the way they view the world is a little bit skewed."
Heroes? Villains? It all comes down to personal perspective which contributes to
what we perceive to be real. Does this book make you think? Come join our discussion
