    Praise for Jan-Philipp Sendker Books

    This novel [The Art of Hearing Heartbeats] is a beautifully woven love story of resilience, passion, and truth that lingers long into the silence after the last page. New Jersey Herald

    [The Art of Hearing Heartbeats] . . . is imbued with Eastern spirituality and fairytale romanticism . . . fans of Nicholas Sparks and Elizabeth Gilbert should eat this up. Kirkus Review

    Its hard to describe how the book [A Well-Tempered Heart] made me feel; when I finished it I felt emotionally spent. Id been transported during my reading and barely put the book down once Id started. I was torn between wanting to find out what happened and wanting the book not to end. Nicky Hallam, Newbooks Magazine

    When you hear crime novel you think you know what to expect. When you hear love story, you might believe you know the outcome. Yet, in Jan-Philipp Sendkers astonishing new novel [Whispering Shadows], set against the seamy backdrop of modern-day China, he melds the two to create something so original, so thrilling and moving about the things we want, and what were prepared to do to get them. A murder story was never so ravishing. Caroline Leavitt, New York Times, bestselling author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You

    Beautifully written, with lush descriptions of an exotic society, and driven by complex and intriguing characters who evolve and react with heart and courage, Whispering Shadows is a remarkable novel that succeeds in astonishing fashion and defies categorization. The Day

    EventsYou are in for a real treat when Jan-Philipp comes to visit. Hes charming. It is evident that he feels great affection for Southeast Asia in his books and his talks. He truly understands the region and has many wonderful anecdotes to share with fans. He must tell the one about the pink bar. Ive retold it countless times to bookclubs here in Houston. I hope you have the opportunity to host Jan-Philipp in your shop. Valerie Koehler, owner of Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, Texas

    Jan-Philipp Sendkers events are magical for a number of reasons. His books are mesmerizing, and meeting him and listening to him speak adds to the wonderment. He knows what to talk about and how to answer questions in a way that not only satisfies the asker but also invites more interest. Several times staff, much like customers, have become interested after the event and hearing Sendker and have bought copies for themselves.
