Unsupported by her family, her first year’s tuition is paid for with scholarship money and juggling several part-time jobs. In the book we find out that Mia, one of the main characters, was once a young student at the New York School of Fine Arts. It’s important to note that traditional surrogacy, portrayed in Little Fires Everywhere, is different from gestational surrogacy in that traditional surrogate mothers provide both the genetic material, the egg, for the child as well as the womb where the child develops. Ng captures perfectly the complexity of motherhood and the emotional consequences of surrogacy, specifically traditional surrogacy. Overall, this book is great and I highly recommend reading it. I had heard good things about this book and, the reason for my purchase, the books story takes place in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a neighboring city to where I lived when I was residing in the Buckeye State.įast forward two years and I finally found time to read it! Had I known that the book contained a surrogacy plot, I would have read it much sooner given the CBC’s work. I really prefer to shop local and even more, I like reading out of physical books – no kindle for me. Two years ago, while visiting Columbus, Ohio I stepped into one of the nation’s largest independent book stores, The Book Loft, located in historic German Village and purchased Celeste Ng’s, Little Fires Everywhere.
