(Kieran Kesner for Buzzfeed) By Bethanne Patrick Published Oct. Our Missing Hearts A Novel by Celeste Ng 5.00 Her beautiful storytelling of families in “Everything I Never Told You” and “Little Fires Everywhere” is a promise that her latest book will feel like a distraction rather than another dimension from the world in which we now live. From the 1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, comes the inspiring new novel about a mothers unbreakable love in a world consumed by fear. Celeste Ng’s new novel, Our Missing Hearts, is set in a near-future rife with surveillance and xenophobia.
"Our Missing Hearts" would be a perfect book club selection, lending itself to questions from how to teach our children to create a better world when we have failed to do so and how we can confront injustice in our own communities.īefore you dismiss the book as too close to the America you might know, remember this: Ng is writing. The way she writes about motherhood – about what you know and don’t know about your children, and their expressions “part them and part the person they loved most” – has you nodding along knowingly and gaining insight into your own feelings as a parent.
Ng’s paragraphs are built with sentences so lovely and lyrical you likely will find yourself marking passages in every chapter to share with others.
