Synopsis:
An instant New York Times bestseller - A New York Times Notable Book - Named a Best Book of the Year by People, TIME Magazine, The Washington Post, USA Today, NPR, Los Angeles Times, and Oprah Daily, and more - A Reese's Book Club Pick - New York Times Paperback Row Selection
"Thought-provoking, heart-wrenching . . . I was so invested in the future of this mother and son." --Reese Witherspoon "Riveting, tender, and timely." --People "Remarkable . . . An unflinching yet life-affirming drama about the power of art and love to push back in dangerous times." --Oprah DailyFrom the #1 bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere, comes the inspiring new novel about a mother's unshakeable love. Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn't know what happened to her--only that her books have been banned--and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him. Then one day Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will learn the truth about what happened to his mother and what the future holds for them both. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It's about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children and the power of art to create change.

Softcover. Condition: Fair. Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Deutliche Verbiegung. From the bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere comes a suspenseful and heartrending tale of a mother's unbreakable love in a fearful society. Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives quietly with his broken father, a former linguist now working at Harvard's library. Their lives are dictated by laws aimed at preserving "American culture" amid economic instability and violence. Authorities can relocate children of dissidents, particularly those of Asian descent, and libraries have removed books deemed unpatriotic, including those by Bird's mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left when he was nine. Bird has grown up distancing himself from her and her poetry, knowing he shouldn't question her absence. However, a mysterious letter with a cryptic drawing sparks his curiosity and leads him on a quest to find her. His journey revisits the folktales she shared, connects him with an underground network of librarians, and uncovers the lives of taken children. Ultimately, he arrives in New York City, where an act of defiance may herald change. This story reexamines how supposedly civilized communities can overlook grave injustices, exploring the power of art to inspire change, the legacies we pass to our children, and the resilience needed to navigate a broken world.
