Ray will have to piece together the clues to recover his treasured Strad. Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng is published in paperback by Little, Brown (£9.99). It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our. How did Our Missing Hearts begin for you.

But on the eve of the renowned and cutthroat Tchaikovsky Competition–the Olympics of classical music–the violin is stolen, a ransom note for five million dollars left in its place. Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. Together, Ray and his violin take the world by storm. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music. When he discovers that his great-great-grandfather’s beat-up old fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, all his dreams suddenly seem within reach. But Ray’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. If he’s lucky, he’ll get a job at the hospital cafeteria. Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. Woah, it was wholesome friendship story between novels author, the struggles of creating a novel that moves peoples heart (feelings). Brendan Slocumb’s debut thriller The Violin Conspiracy strikes me as a page-turner with uncommon depth. Our Missing Hearts revolves around one family, torn apart by a current regime that’s swept across America called PACT.
