MY MOTHER'S HOUSE by Francesca Momplaisir - New York Times Book Review "Inside a House in Queens, a Dark Side of the Immigrant Story"

New York Times Book Review | May 8, 2020

“‘My Mother’s House,’ Francesca Momplaisir’s debut novel, begins from the point of view of La Kay, a house on fire. The walls talk, scheme and ultimately give in to an impulse to self-destruct. The house has a large range of human intentions and emotions, including an affinity for Michael Jackson and rap music, and can burst pipes and inhale fire to act on its fears and desires. It provides one of three perspectives in the novel; the others belong to its owner, Lucien, and Sol, a woman living in the basement.”
