Celeste Ng writes contemporary literary fiction about families, secrecy, race and the pressures created by trying to fit an ideal version of family life. Everything I Never Told You begins with the death of Lydia Lee, the favourite child of a Chinese American family in 1970s Ohio, and moves through the expectations and misunderstandings that surrounded her. Little Fires Everywhere places two very different families in planned suburban Shaker Heights and builds conflict around motherhood, class, adoption and control. Our Missing Hearts moves into dystopian territory through a boy searching for his missing mother under an authoritarian cultural policy. Ng's prose is clear, character-led and tightly structured, fitting family drama, suburban fiction and social-issue literary fiction. Read more Less
