Little Fires Everywhere author Celeste Ng's debut novel to be adapted for TV
-
Annapurna Television has won a bidding war for Ng's 2014 novel Everything I Never Told You, which "explores the divisions between cultures and the rifts within a family, and uncovering the ways in which mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and husbands and wives struggle to understand each other over a lifetime," per Variety. "Set in a small town in 1970s Ohio, protagonist Lydia is the adored but put-upon child of Marilyn and James Lee. When her body is found in a local lake, the delicate balancing act that has been keeping the Lee family together is destroyed, sending them into chaos."
