About the book
Little Fires Everywhere is set in Shaker Heights, Ohio, during the 1990s, the author's own hometown. The novel centers on two families whose lives become entwined through their children. Elena Richardson, a established local resident, rents an apartment to Mia Warren, an artist who moves from place to place with her teenage daughter, Pearl. Pearl befriends the Richardson siblings and is drawn to their settled household, while Mia keeps a watchful distance. The story opens with a fire at the Richardson home, where several small blazes suggest arson.
