Reading this book was like reading poetry, with full attention required for each sentence.

Sendker takes us from contemporary, upscale New York to impoverished Burma, weaving a complex tale that is part romance, part father-daughter story. "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. Like love, it's going to endure." -Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You "No matter what I even attempt to say, I can't possibly capture the absolute magic of this book.

"An epic narrative that requires.a large box of tissues." - Publishers Weekly " 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
