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 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.

Pequeños fuegos por todas partes

Tout ce qu'on ne s'est jamais dit

Pequenos incĂȘndios por toda parte

La saison des feux

Tanti piccoli fuochi

I nostri cuori perduti

Tudo o que nunca contei

Mici Focuri Pretutindeni

Kis tĂŒzek mindenĂŒtt

Wszystko, czego wam nie powiedziaƂam

Corazones perdidos

Os coraçÔes perdidos

Όσα ΎΔΜ ÏƒÎżÏ… Î”ÎŻÏ€Î± Ï€ÎżÏ„Î­

Tot ce nu ți-am spus

MaƂe ogniska

Alt det jeg aldrig fortalte dig

Kleine Feuer ĂŒberall

Nasze zaginione serca

Onze verloren harten

VÄra förlorade hjÀrtan

ΟÎč χαΌέΜΔς Όας ÎșαρΎÎčές

SĂ€g inget om Lydia

HiĂĄnyzĂł szĂ­vĂŒnk

SmÄ eldar överallt

Catorze dias

Wat ik nooit eerder heb gezegd

De savnede hjerter

Unsre verschwundenen Herzen

Pequenos Fogos em Todo o Lado

Wszystko, czego wam nie powiedziaƂam

Kleine brandjes overal

Alt jeg ikke sa

Prikriti plameni

Nos coeurs disparus

MaƂe ogniska

Tudo o Que Ficou Por Dizer

SmÄ pÄsatte brande
