From here, he follows a spiraling scavenger hunt in search of her. Within the unspoken racist laws called “PACT” that this dystopian America enforces, the world Bird is living in starts to become clear to him when he receives a note that he suspects is from his mother. Bird’s mother, on the other hand, mysteriously left the family years earlier and has not been seen or heard from since. Bird lives with his father, a university librarian. With a mishmash of issues of identity, motherhood and race, the dystopian novel tells the story of a twelve-year-old boy, Bird, whose life is changed when he receives a mysterious note. “Our Missing Hearts” incorporates similar themes as Ng’s past books. The author’s strong past work gave me high hopes for another great read. Ng is well known for her earlier books “Everything I Never Told You” and “Little Fires Everywhere,” Hulu made into a miniseries in 2020. If you are a fan of fiction books and are looking for a strong new release, your head might turn towards author Celeste Ng’s newest novel “Our Missing Hearts,” which was released Oct.
