Hi, this is Betsy from Otto’s. “Do you believe in love?” he asked, “the triumph of the human spirit over selfishness and death?” Thus begins Julia Win’s introduction to the first twenty years of her father’s life—a period he never shared with his American wife and two grown children. Her father disappeared four years ago. A long-lost love letter he had never mailed gave her an address in a Burmese country town. He had a life before his emigration to America, before his education and success in the law…before his marriage and children. Now, a stranger, who was somehow not a stranger, tells Julia about her father’s early life and his love—a love so strong he could hear her heartbeat thousands of miles away. Learn about a culture steeped in mysticism, ruled by astrology and the power of love. The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, a best seller in Europe, now translated from the German and available in paperback! You’ll find it (the end of the month) at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise, in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
