so compulsively readable. a major strength of little fires everywhere is definitely its characters: ng is able to somehow craft a solid life background story for almost every single one of them, allowing us to understand them and their fears and why they are the way they are, and thus making it impossible for us to point to a 'villain' or conclusively identify anyone as 'bad.'

its study on the characters' psyche is perhaps my favorite aspect of the book. its structure also adds mystery to the plot, while the theme of mother-daughter relationships (and the book clearly has that in abundance) is highlighted time and again either stirringly, touchingly, or thought-provokingly.

though i do feel that the ending is a bit rushed and there's some loopholes in logic, ultimately, i appreciate this book for affirming that we're all human and everyone's just trying their best.

"Um ehrlich zu sein, ich weiß es nicht. Aber sie wird es überleben. Manchmal denkt man, es geht nicht mehr weiter, und findet doch einen Weg." Mia suchte nach einer passenden Erklärung. "Es ist wie nach einem Präriefeuer. Vor einigen Jahren, als wir in Nebraska waren, hab ich mal eins gesehen. Man meint, das Ende der Welt zu sehen. Die Erde ist völlig versengt und schwarz, alles Grün ist verschwunden. Aber nach dem Brand ist der Boden fruchtbarer, und Neues kann wachsen."
