Celeste Ng On 'Little Fires Everywhere'

The Leonard Lopate Show | Sep 12, 2017

Celeste Ng joins us to discuss her new novel Little Fires Everywhere. It tells the story of the Richardson family who lives in the planned, affluent community of Shaker Heights, Ohio. When Mia, a single mother, and her 15-year-old daughter, Pearl, rent a house in the area, their very different lives merge with those of the Richardson family in unexpected ways.

Celeste Ng will appear in conversation with Mira Jacob on Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Greenlight Bookstore (686 Fulton Street, Brooklyn).

Note: Jonathan Capehart guest-hosted this segment of "The Leonard Lopate Show."
