|summary=Ten years after the events in [[The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker|The Art of Hearing Heartbeats]] Julia Win starts hearing voices. This leads her back to her father's homeland of Burma and the heart-wrenching tale of mother's love and the choices it forces her into. Just as beautiful and satisfying as the previous book - but I would urge readers to start at the beginning.

Writing on Sendker's previous novel ''The Art of Hearing Heartbeats'' for this website, I said ''Sendker is German-born (Hamburg 1960) and worked as American correspondent for ''Stern'' (1990 to 95) and then as its Asian correspondent from '95 to '99. He now lives in Berlin. This probably gives him enough global insight to write about a US-born high flyer with an Asian heritage heading off to Burma to find out the truth of her father's disappearance. It probably also gives him the language skills to do it in English without recourse to a translator.''

If you've enjoyed Sendker's Burma books, then we think you'll also like [[The Road to Wanting by Wendy Law-Yone]]
