A house filled with stories. A past shrouded in secrets. A journey to uncover the truth.
Raised by her grandmother in a house overflowing with books, stories, and quiet enchantment, Marta has always believed in the fairy tale she was told—that her father is a Turkish prince and that her mother died when she was very young. But as she grows older and this illusion crumbles, Marta is left with only anger and unanswered questions. Why did her grandmother keep the truth from her? Who was her mother, really? And what became of the father she never knew?
When her grandmother dies, Marta is truly alone—until she discovers a box in the attic filled with fragments of the past: her mother’s journal, a worn photograph, and the first real clues to her own history. Determined to break free from the house of secrets that has shaped her life, she sets off on a journey to Israel, searching for the family her mother left behind and the missing pieces of her own identity.
Told as a young woman’s heartfelt address to the memory of her grandmother, Listen to My Voice is a poignant coming-of-age novel—a meditation on history, belonging, and the unbreakable ties between past and present.
The highly anticipated sequel to Follow Your Heart.
