MY MOTHER’S HOUSE by Francesca Momplaisir - The New York Times "New in Paperback: ‘Exciting Times’ and ‘Leave Only Footprints’"

The New York Times | April 9, 2021

MY MOTHER’S HOUSE, by Francesca Momplaisir. (Vintage, 304 pp., $16.) This debut novel is narrated from three perspectives: a Queens house on fire (its walls “talk, scheme and ultimately give in to an impulse to self-destruct”), its Haitian owner and a mysterious woman living in the basement. Our reviewer, Stephanie Powell Watts, called it “an ambitious attempt to tell a story of despotism and terror, toxic masculinity and survival.”
