Reviews
In The Rebel and the Thief, Sendker's lush storytelling captures courage and sacrifice against the greatest of odds as Niri and Mary, young lovers from different worlds, embark on a journey of selflessness and survival. This modern-day Robin Hood story captivates the most thoughtful readers, reminding us that hope is not lost and there is always good in the world. -- Rochelle B. Weinstein, bestselling author of When We Let Go A lush tale of romance and family set in mid-twentieth-century Burma...Beautiful...Bound to enchant readers. -- Booklist on The Art of Hearing Heartbeats No matter what I even attempt to say, I can't possibly capture the absolute magic of this book. Like a spell, it haunts. Like love, it's going to endure. -- Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author, on The Art of Hearing Heartbeats

Jan-Philipp Sendker, born in Hamburg in 1960, was the American correspondent for Stern from 1990 to 1995, and its Asian correspondent from 1995 to 1999. In 2000 he published Cracks in the Wall, a nonfiction book about China. The Art of Hearing Heartbeats, his first novel, became an international bestseller and was followed by two sequels, A Well-Tempered Heart and The Heart Remembers. He lives in Potsdam, Germany, with his family. Imogen Taylor was born in London in 1978 and has lived in Berlin since 2001. She is the translator of Sascha Arango, Dirk Kurbjuweit, and Melanie Raabe, among others.
