THE ART OF HEARING HEARTBEATS by Jan Phillipp Sendker

Gretchen recommended The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Phillipp Sendker.  The author writes a  story about two young people who fall in love in Burma.  Julia and her mother find a love letter written by Julia's father to a woman who lives in a remote village in Burma.  Julia decides to travel there to learn about her father's past and coming to terms with his mysterious disappearance.   The love story between a sightless young man and a cripple is astoundingly beautiful.
