The summer in Shaker Heights was all about Isabell, the Richardson's youngest, going crazy and burning down the house after all....
In Shaker Heights, a quiet and respectable town everything is carefully planned - from the street corners 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 in this realm of ordered life, artist Mia Warren appears. Mrs. Richardson has a luxurious house, Mia's abode is a small "Volkswagen Rabbit". One has everything, but she lives in a cage of rules. The other has nothing, but is free as the wind. And yet, are they so far apart? Both have teenage children with fires smoldering for a while, and one day the flames will roar out and try to consume everything around them. The collision of two worlds - order and chaos - will prove crushing for both and at the same time offer new hope. The new novel is a fascinating story of two families, in which there are many layers, no division into black and white, no division into heroes and anti-heroes. The book weaves a complex web - of moral principles, feelings, ambitions, mistakes of the past. Celeste Ing constantly changes perspective, she presents the story from the point of view of all participants in the drama, and from this there is a feeling of complete immersion in the world she created, and from the detective unpredictability and thriller pace dizzying.
