  19. Review: Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng

    Our Missing Hearts is a great novel. Perhaps the best novel of 2022. Touching and so timely. In many ways, it's a quiet story about one family but also a warning about the dangers of silence and complicity. So while there are some poignant scenes, there is quite bit of a hardship too. Again, it is a difficult read.

  24. All Book Marks reviews for Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng

    Our Missing Hearts will land differently for individual readers. One element we shouldn't miss is Ng's bold reversal of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel.
