"[ The Art of Hearing Heartbeats ] is a love story set in Burma…imbued with Eastern spirituality and fairy-tale romanticism…Fans of Nicholas Sparks and/or Elizabeth Gilbert should eat this up." - Kirkus Reviews "An epic narrative that requires…a large box of tissues." - Publishers Weekly "Sweetly tragic." - Library Journal "No matter what I even attempt to say, I can't possibly capture the absolute magic of this book. Like a spell, it haunts. Like love, it's going to endure." -Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You "A story at once both poignant and joyous, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats reaffirms how love can transform the harshest of realities into a mystical one. Sendker takes us from contemporary, upscale New York to impoverished Burma, weaving a complex tale that is part romance, part father-daughter story. Reading this book was like reading poetry, with full attention required for each sentence. A thoroughly immersive and enjoyable read." -Margaret Dilloway, author of How to Be an American Housewife "Set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats is a rare novel. Telling the story of a young blind man's journey through a world of auditory intensity, Jan-Philipp Sendker renews one's faith in the possibility of real, pure love. I finished the book in tears." -Shawna Yang Ryan, author of Water Ghosts, "[ The Art of Hearing Heartbeats ] is a love story set in Burma…imbued with Eastern spirituality and fairy-tale romanticism…Fans of Nicholas Sparks and/or Elizabeth Gilbert should eat this up." - Kirkus Reviews "An epic narrative that requires…a large box of tissues." - Publishers Weekly "Sweetly tragic." - Library Journal "No matter what I even attempt to say, I can't possibly capture the absolute magic of this book.
