In a world full of voices, no one truly listens. Frank Maria Sellin earns his living as a professional "listener" - a man who records the confessions of strangers without judgment. Yet when Anne walks into his quiet office, everything begins to unravel: her story of love, guilt, and loss forces him to confront the silence in his own life. Through Anne's haunting memories and the parallel life of Emma, a disillusioned property clerk torn between duty and conscience, Gert Richter builds a polyphonic novel about the impossibility of communication and the human longing to be understood. Minimalist in style yet rich in emotional resonance, I Hear You, You Don't Hear Me listens deeply to the hidden music of human isolation - where even compassion can wound, and silence becomes the last remaining truth. A modern moral parable about guilt, empathy, love, loss, and the fragile art of listening.
