Nine characters recall their relationship with this same woman, their stories and memories breathing life into her, drawing us close, but stopping short of true intimacy as her own voice remains unspoken. Piecing together these slivers, it becomes hard to decide which version of her is real. Set in familiar, nameless cities, moving between East and West, 'The Nine-Chambered Heart' is a delicate, poignant, and exquisitely written novel. A compendium of shifting perspectives that reveals how it is possible to exist intimately with another - yet, perhaps, not know them at all.
