Little Fires Everywhere

Everyone in Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend and burned the house down.

In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned — from the layout of the winding roads, the colours of the houses, the successsful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richadson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren — an enigmatic artist and single mother — who arrived in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter Pearl.
