Revue de presse :
'Addictive . . . Meek is a novelist of Dostoevskyan intensity . . . encompassing blackmail, murder and sexual infidelity. You have to admire the scope and ambition of this operatic saga' Guardian
'A book about how to be good in bad times' BBC Radio 4
'The Heart Broke In has a Dickensian cast list [and] Meek's range, humour and boldness are a joy' Observer
'This is a big juicy slab of a book, as thrilling and nourishing as a Victorian three-parter' Spectator
'A moral thriller' Philip Pullman
'Britain's answer to Don DeLillo . . . Where DeLillo sustains a brittle, glassy idiom, Meek, like Tolstoy, surrenders to the human . . . A complex meditation on death and time and the family' Independent
'One of the country's finest writers' GQ
'James Meek's new novel has all the urgent readability of his previous work combined with a wide-ranging vision of social and personal responsibility that's very rare in current fiction. I suppose we could call it a moral thriller. Whatever we call it, I was enormously impressed' Philip Pullman --Philip Pullman

Would you betray someone you love to give them what they want?
Bec Shepherd is a malaria researcher struggling to lead a good life. Ritchie, her reprobate brother, is a rock star turned TV producer. When Bec refuses an offer of marriage from a powerful newspaper editor and Ritchie's indiscretions catch up with him, brother and sister are forced to choose between loyalty and betrayal. The Heart Broke In is an old-fashioned story of modern times, a rich, ambitious family drama of love, death and money in the era of gene therapy and internet blackmail. From the author of the 'spellbinding' (Guardian), 'quite extraordinary' (Philip Pullman), 'startlingly original' (Mail on Sunday) novel, The People's Act of Love
