Der zweite unvergessliche Roman der internationalen BestsellerautorinEs brennt! In jedem der Schlafzimmer hat jemand Feuer gelegt. Fassungslos steht Elena Richardson im Bademantel und den Tennisschuhen ihres Sohnes drauen auf dem Rasen und starrt in die Flammen. Ihr ganzes Leben lang hatte sie die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Leidenschaft so gefahrlich ist wie Feuer. Deshalb passte sie so gut nach Shaker Heights, den wohlhabenden Vorort von Cleveland, Ohio, in dem der Auenanstrich der Hauser ebenso geregelt ist wie das Alltagsleben seiner Bewohner. Ihr Mann ist Partner einer Anwaltskanzlei, sie selbst schreibt Kolumnen fur die Lokalzeitung, die vier halbwuchsigen Kinder sind bis auf das jungste, Isabel, wohlgeraten. Doch es brennt. Elenas scheinbar unanfechtbares Idyll alles Asche und Rauch?

Tras los éxitos de Todo lo que no te conté y Pequeños fuegos por todas partes, Celeste Ng se adentra en un escenario distópico en su esperada tercera novela, Corazones perdidos, una historia conmovedora y llena de suspense de inquebrantable amor maternofilial en una sociedad consumida por el miedo. Bird Gardner es un niño de doce años que lleva una vida aparentemente tranquila con un padre cariñoso pero atormentado, que trabaja como bibliotecario en la Universidad de Harvard. A lo largo de una decada y tras años de inestabilidad economica y violencia callejera, el gobierno de Estados Unidos ha aprobado leyes para preservar la cultura americana. Con la excusa de mantener la paz y recuperar la prosperidad, las autoridades pueden separar a los hijos de los disidentes y ademas se han prohibido los libros considerados antipatrioticos, entre ellos la obra de la madre de Bird, Margaret Miu, una poeta estadounidense de origen chino que abandono a su familia cuando este tenia nueve años. Pero, cuando el muchacho recibe una carta misteriosa que contiene solo un dibujo criptico, toma la decision de encontrarla. Esta es una novela sobre lazos familiares y tambien sobre como una sociedad supuestamente civilizada puede cometer las mayores injusticias. Es una historia sobre el poder y las limitaciones del arte para promover el cambio, sobre las enseñanzas que transmitimos a nuestros hijos y sobre la posibilidad de sobrevivir en un mundo roto con el corazon intacto.
