«Écoute mon cœur» is the young adult novel by Janine Teisson, published by Syros in 2005, in paperback (133 pages, in French).
The work alternates two stories about the condition of deaf people. In the present day, the elderly Paulou tries to sell his house in the Camargue, now unsellable due to the noise of a highway, and shows it to a deaf family who are delighted with it. A century earlier, young Jean Peyre writes to his parents from the boarding school where he is interned; although he is a brilliant student, his future is endangered by policies that want to eliminate sign language, the only means of communication and instruction for the deaf.
Suitable for young readers from about 12 years old and for those seeking stories about difference and deafness.
