In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town--and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
Little Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets, the nature of art and identity, and the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster.

Condition: Como nuevo. : En Shaker Heights, un suburbio tranquilo y progresista de Cleveland, todo está planeado: desde el diseño de las carreteras sinuosas hasta los colores de las casas y las vidas exitosas que sus residentes llevarán. Y nadie encarna este espíritu más que Elena Richardson, cuyo principio rector es seguir las reglas. Mia Warren, una enigmática artista y madre soltera, llega a esta burbuja idílica con su hija adolescente Pearl y alquila una casa a los Richardson. Pronto, Mia y Pearl se convierten en algo más que inquilinos: los cuatro hijos de Richardson se sienten atraídos por la pareja de madre e hija. Pero Mia tiene un pasado misterioso y un desprecio por el statu quo que amenaza con trastornar esta comunidad cuidadosamente ordenada. Cuando viejos amigos de la familia de los Richardson intentan adoptar a un bebé chino-estadounidense, estalla una batalla por la custodia que divide dramáticamente a la ciudad y enfrenta a Mia y Elena en bandos opuestos. Sospechando de Mia y sus motivos, Elena está decidida a descubrir los secretos del pasado de Mia. Pero su obsesión tendrá costos inesperados y devastadores. Little Fires Everywhere explora el peso de los secretos, la naturaleza del arte y la identidad, y el feroz atractivo de la maternidad, y el peligro de creer que seguir las reglas puede evitar el desastre.
