A riveting tale that unfolds the intertwined fates of the Richardson's family and their tenant, the ever enigmatic mother Mia, and her daughter Pearl. The pneuma of Shaker Heights, the description of mere perfection wrapped around society is embodied most by Elena Richardson, the mother of the four very unalike Richardson Children.
Mia on the other hand is a transient artist and a single mother to whom all four Richardson children feel a strange affinity. But Mia carries with her a past that disregards the parameters of the idealistic social paradigm. The attempts of adoption of a Chinese-American baby by an old family friend of the Richardson takes Mia back to her struggling days and puts her in opposition to Elena, which forces Elena to dig the past life of Mia, but that only brings her catastrophes.
The novel reveals how individualistic judgments are based on the perceptions that we build around a person and our own social positionality, never caring to understand the reality of the relationship or the person altogether. The novel beautifully endeavors the different emotional stances of motherhood portrayed by contrasting female characters.
The nail-biting thrill that the book provides might just force you to find out who lit the fire in the first place, in a single sitting.
