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 Daily From 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. Review: Celeste Ng’s story of choices made in difficult timesz - This is an engrossing read and as compelling as Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere. You will not be disappointed in this complex story of love, suspense and injustice. Review: Great Loss Blossoms into a Special Moment - My first take was that this novel was another one about a pandemic and the aftermath. Yet it is so much more. Underlying all of it is a mother’s love and the development of the main character Margaret and her son Bird. The political events at first seemed far fetched but the author did draw upon reality. She describes a very authoritarian state in the US making me picture the period of WWII and the Nazis. I loved her references to ancient fables throughout to tell her story. Her son Bird narrates and we see much through an innocent child’s mind. And playing well was the character of Sadie who shares similar experiences as Bird. Domi, the mother’s friend, and Margrets husband Ethan are used to relate the story but their real characters are a bit shallow. Recommend to readers who envision a future world that might be if we don’t engage with the direction of cultural freedom. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,974 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Asian American & Pacific Islander Literature (Books) #203 in Dystopian Fiction (Books) #400 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 24,554 Reviews | ## Images ![Our Missing Hearts: Reese's Book Club: A Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EQJpPjUhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Celeste Ng’s story of choices made in difficult timesz *by C***L on April 15, 2026* This is an engrossing read and as compelling as Celeste Ng’s Little Fires Everywhere.

I listened to the audiobook and read portions of this book through a local library. Wowza. This book was prescient, prophetic (in the actual sense of the word—not the popular cultural understating of it), and powerful. The storytelling is compelling and imaginative, and the writing is so beautiful. It is filled with references to other stories, and I really loved the way this book spoke to the power of storytelling. This book was a real gift for the word nerd in me, and I identified so closely with Nathan in his love of etymology. I would say it is a cautionary tale, but even if this is set in a dystopian near future, so much of what happens in Our Missing Hearts is current—seems to have been pulled from the headlines. Was it a little heavy handed at times in showing us a world so prevalent with Asian hate? Perhaps. Was the book absolutely spot on in its critique? Absolutely. And is the book is so important of read. It seems important to note that I checked out the both the library book and audiobook from my library—important because of the role libraries played in the book. This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to. Lucy Liu is masterful in her interpretation and (with the exception of apparently not knowing a song that appeared in one scene) doesn’t waste a word, doesn’t waste a moment. I highly recommend the audiobook!! This is a wonderful book—one that will stay with me. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/540765695-our-missing-hearts-reeses-book-club-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/540765695-our-missing-hearts-reeses-book-club-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
