This Is The Night Our House Will Catch Fire is a powerful and moving novel that explores the complexities of love, loss, and redemption. Set against the backdrop of a small town in the American South, the novel follows the story of two families whose lives are intertwined in ways they never could have imagined.

The novel begins with the death of Kenneth Calhoun, a young black man who is shot by a white police officer. Kenneth's death sends shockwaves through the community, and it soon becomes clear that there is more to the story than meets the eye.

As the investigation into Kenneth's death unfolds, the novel follows the lives of his family and friends. We meet Kenneth's mother, Eula, who is struggling to come to terms with her son's death. We also meet his sister, Lena, who is trying to find her own way in life. And we meet his best friend, Marcus, who is haunted by the guilt of what happened.

On the other side of town, we meet the white family of the police officer who shot Kenneth. The officer, Bobby, is a young man who is struggling to deal with the aftermath of the shooting. His wife, Sarah, is trying to hold her family together. And his daughter, Lily, is trying to understand the world around her.

As the lives of these two families intersect, the novel explores the complexities of race, family, and love. This Is The Night Our House Will Catch Fire is a must-read for fans of literary fiction and women's fiction.
