SWF Livestream: Celeste Ng, 'Our Missing Hearts'

Next date: Saturday, 25 May 2024 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

The gripping, heart-rending follow-up to Little Fires Everywhere

Banning books, waving flags and persecuting racial minorities. Sound familiar? Celeste Ng’s third novel, Our Missing Hearts, is set in a marginally more dystopian version of Trump’s America as a patriotic new law removes children from dissident parents.

After the bestselling novel Little Fires Everywhere – adapted into a popular mini-series starring Reese Witherspoon – comes a similarly moving tale about the unbreakable bond between a mother and son.

Sit down with Celeste and host Claire Nichols to discuss hope, hero librarians and the power of art to create change.
