Ten years later, Julia, a successful lawyer in Manhattan, just like her deceased father, receives a letter from her brother U Ba. U Ba, who introduced him to his father's mysterious past on the other side of the world, talks about a strange encounter in his letter. A story that Julia never imagined and that will affect her own destiny is waiting to be put into words. A voice inside her mind that does not leave her alone and this letter prompts Julia, whom the doctor diagnosed with schizophrenia, to return once again, this time. It takes you on an impossible journey. Perhaps the only way to silence the voice in his head was to tell this story.
Where the story is spoken… A village where hearts turn to stone. A hut with a huge hole in its roof. Shiny black leather boots. Seconds oscillating between life and death.
You choose one. The lieutenant was saying to Nu Nu: "Let's take the other one." A mother who had to send one of her two sons to war would make a single choice and determine Julia's fate.
Sometimes only a few a second life can change. Sometimes you have to wait a lifetime to get inside a heart.
"An unforgettable story."

"A story that will touch the depths of your heart. Eastern spirituality and a fairytale-like romance… Nicholas Sparks and Elizabeth Gilbert fans will not be able to get enough of this book."
-Kirkus Reviews-
"I simply loved it. It takes the reader far away and invites them to unravel the mysteries in the souls of mysterious people. Best of all, it makes us think about ourselves in a way we have never thought before. What meanings do we give to love, what do we believe in, and what direction does this give to our lives?
-Angelika Schwabach, Buchhandlung Ida von Behr bookstore, Volksdorf, Germany-
"This book has managed to dethrone all bestselling books for a quarter of a century. It is so touching that it opens a different window to life and prompts us to question ourselves there. Sendker's language fascinated me." "It has its own rhythm and style. You won't even realize how you turn the pages. It's a unique one."
-Marianne Nagel, Buchhandlung Nagel, Amriswil, Switzerland-
"A book like this comes out once in a million. The extraordinary story of a man who hears the world not with his eyes but with the sounds of his heart. Jan-Philipp Sendker will strengthen your belief in the existence of true love. I finished it in tears." ."
-Shawna Yang Ryan, author of Water Ghosts-
