A novel about a mother’s unbreakable love in a world consumed by fear . . .
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It's a story about the power, and limitations, of art to create change, the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact.
“Working in the tradition of The Handmaid’s Tale and 1984, Our Missing Hearts is at its core a parable about the wages of fear, how it can lead to bigotry, racism and institutionalized hatred ... The notion of the accidental warrior is one of the many generous and compassionate aspects of Ng’s story (the idea that there is something brave in everyone) if only it can be reached.” -- The Washington Post
