Over the summer, there was talk in Shaker Heights that Isabelle, the Richardsons' youngest, had gone crazy and burned down the house.…In Shaker Heights, a calm and respectable town, everything is carefully planned - from the street turns and flower beds at the houses to the successful lives of its inhabitants. And no one embodies the spirit of the town more than Mrs. Richardson, the perfect mother and wife. But one day, the artist Mia Warren appears in this realm of orderly life. Mrs. Richardson has a luxurious house, Mia's home is a small Volkswagen rabbit. One has everything, but she lives in a cage of rules. The other has nothing, but she is as free as the wind. And at the same time, are they really that far apart? Both have teenage children, in which fires are smoldering for the time being, and one day the flames will roar out and try to consume everything around them. The collision of two worlds - order and chaos - will be devastating for both and at the same time give new hope. The new novel is an exciting story of two families, in which there are many layers, there is no division into black and white, there is no division into heroes and antiheroes. The book weaves a complex web of moral principles, feelings, ambitions, and mistakes of the past. Celeste Ing constantly changes the angle, she presents the story from the point of view of all the participants in the drama, and this creates a feeling of complete immersion in the world she created, while the detective unpredictability and thriller pace make your head spin.
