Book Club: The Art of Hearing Heartbeats
from Check It Out: St. Tammany Parish Library Podcast · host St. Tammany Parish Library
Our first Check It Out Book Club episode is here! This month, James is joined by Susan, manager of the Madisonville Branch, and Julie, a member of the Madisonville Book Club, to discuss The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by Jan-Philipp Sendker. We talk about the novel's central love story, Julia's search for the truth about her father, Tin Win's life in Burma and America, the book's fairy-tale quality, the meaning of hearing heartbeats, and how the Madisonville Book Club responded to the story. Our next Book Club selection is Absolution by Alice McDermott. The South Slidell Book Club will discuss it in person on July 9, and we'll feature it in an upcoming episode of Check It Out.
