Emma Storr draws on her scientific knowledge and medical experience in deft and lyrical ways to create different voices and styles. In her calm objectivity, in her honesty and accuracy of perception, she teaches us all that we should listen better.                       

John Foggin

 Heart Murmur is written from a place of humanity and wisdom.
