Publisher Description

The sequel to the international best-selling novel The Art of Hearing Heartbeats.
 
Almost ten years have passed since Julia Win came back from Burma, her father’s native country. Though she is a successful Manhattan lawyer, her private life is at a crossroads; her boyfriend has recently left her and she is, despite her wealth, unhappy with her professional life. Julia is lost and exhausted.
 
One day, in the middle of an important business meeting, she hears a stranger’s voice in her head that causes her to leave the office without explanation. In the following days, her crisis only deepens. Not only does the female voice refuse to disappear, but it starts to ask questions Julia has been trying to avoid. Why do you live alone? To whom do you feel close? What do you want in life?
 
Interwoven with Julia’s story is that of a Burmese woman named Nu Nu who finds her world turned upside down when Burma goes to war and calls on her two young sons to be child soldiers. This spirited sequel, like The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, explores the most inspiring and passionate terrain: the human heart.

Excellent

I read this book immediately after its predecessor. I don't usually do this, but I was left wanting more after The Art of Hearing Heartbeats. Now I'm watching for the third installment of this lovely story (?), and wishing to be a better person.

A Well-Tempered Heart

A wonderful book. The fourth book I’ve read by author in succession. Didn’t want it to end. When you can learn something about yourself and life in a book you can’t ask for more than that.
