We’re excited to announce our book club selection for February. Jan-Philip Sendker’s The Art of Hearing Heartbeats is a beautifully written story about a girl in search of her father, but discovers much more.
Grab your favorite chair, as Sendker’s novel will take you to the exotic country of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma):
A poignant and inspirational love story set in Burma, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats spans the decades between the 1950s and the present. When a successful New York lawyer suddenly disappears without a trace, neither his wife nor his daughter Julia has any idea where he might be…until they find a love letter he wrote many years ago, to a Burmese woman they have never heard of. Intent on solving the mystery and coming to terms with her father’s past, Julia decides to travel to the village where the woman lived. There she uncovers a tale of unimaginable hardship, resilience, and passion that will reaffirm the reader’s belief in the power of love to move mountains.
Join us on February 1st as From Left to Write book club members discuss The Art of Hearing Heartbeats (The Other Press). The book will be released January 31. You’ll want to go ahead and pre-order your copy today. It’s that good!
