The Heart Remembers (The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, #3) by Jan-Philipp Sendker

The Heart Remembers (The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, #3)The Heart Remembers by Jan-Philipp Sendker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Narrated by: Neil Shah, I loved this 3rd and final book, about eternal love, family, spirituality. I did not like TaTa's voice it was plodding, and too slow and Julia's voice was totally different from the other two books. But the story of TaTa and Julia and their son will be one I will not soon forget! This is a must read sesries!

A Well-Tempered Heart (The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, #2) by Jan-Philipp Sendker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Awesomely narrated by Cassandra Campbell, Julia flees to Burma when she begins hearing the voice of a woman who is afraid of black boots. In Burma reunited with her brother after 10 years, U Ba, she finds out who the woman is and tries to find out what happened to the woman (whose voice she hears) and her two sons. I loved Julia's growth in this 2nd book, U Ba is my favorite- he is just the most sensible, kind, loving human being. The story of Nu Nu, her husband and two sons leveled me; I could not stop listening to this compelling story!

Thank you to my friend, Michelle for recommending this a few times. Awesomely narrated by: Cassandra Campbell, this was a spell binding, gripping, lyrical, and mesmerizing romance of two people in Burma, who end up saving each 0ther. I loved the way Sendker told this awesome historical fiction story---his writing was beautiful, the way Tin Win views the world as a blind man and his romance with Mimi (how he details their lovemaking, his comfort and solace with carrying her on his back, the beauty of MiMi and Kalaw. I loved how this story unfolded and have not been able to stop thinking about the series of events in U Ba's story to Julia about Tin Win and MiMi's life and how affecting it was to Julia and her thinking and her outlook on her life and her father's life in Kalaw. A must read!!!
