About this listen

The highly anticipated final book in the internationally best-selling The Art of Hearing Heartbeats trilogy, a moving story about love’s power to transcend distances and heal seemingly irreparable wounds

Twelve-year-old Bo Bo lives with his uncle U Ba in Kalaw, a town in Burma. An unusually perceptive child, Bo Bo can read people’s emotions in their eyes. This acute sensitivity only makes his unconventional home life more difficult: His father comes to visit him once a year, and he can hardly remember his mother, who, for unclear reasons, keeps herself away from her son.

Everything changes when Bo Bo discovers the story of his parents’ great love, which threatens to break down in the whirlwind of political events, and of his mother’s mysterious sickness. Convinced that he can heal her and reunite their family, Bo Bo decides to set out in search of his parents.

A gripping, heartwarming tale that takes the listener from Burma to New York and back, The Heart Remembers is a worthy conclusion to Jan-Philipp Sendker’s beloved series.

Loved it.

Gentle, peaceful and beautifully woven. Evocative of a whole different world. Loved the narration too.

A beautiful end to a beautiful trilogy

The Art of hearing heartbeats is one of my all-time favourite books so naturally when I heard that the third book had been released I had to read it too. Just as beautifully written as the others, this book describes the life in Burma (now Myanmar) so beautifully, yet doesn’t hold back the depth and feeling of the time the story plays out. A beautiful finish to a beautiful story. I give it 4 stars because I could have gone on a little longer giving us a few more details of the future, but overall I’m very happy. If you’ve read the other two, definitely read the third book too!
