Our Missing Hearts
Ng, Celeste
’Governments are right to fear words. They can change hearts and
topple tyrannies....It’s impossible not to be moved by Margaret Miu’s
courage, or to applaud her craftiness...And Bird is a brave and
believable character, who gives us a relatable portal into a world that
seems more like our own every day’ Stephen King, New York Times
’As lyrical as it is chilling, as astonishing as it is empathic, Our Missing Hearts arguably achieves literary perfection’ Booklist (starred review)
From the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, a deeply heart-wrenching novel about the unbreakable love between a mother and child in a society consumed by fear.
Twelve-year-old
Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father,
a former linguist who now shelves books in Harvard’s library. He knows
not to ask too many questions, stand out too much, stray too far.
For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to
preserve ’American culture’ in the wake of years of economic instability
and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities
are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of
Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as
unpatriotic - including the work of Bird’s mother, Margaret, a Chinese
American poet who left the family when he was nine years old.
Bird
has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn’t know her
work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn’t wonder. But when
he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he
is drawn into a quest to find her.
His journey will take him
through the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through
the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the
children who have been taken, and finally to New York, where a new act
of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change.
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities
can turn a blind eye to the most searing injustice. It’s a story about
the power - and limitations - of art to create change in the world, the
lessons and legacies we pass onto our children, and how any of us can
survive a broken world with our hearts intact.
