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
Présentation de l'éditeur :

A scientist obsessed with evolution but unable to have children, a malaria researcher trying to choose between freedom and love, and a washed-up TV svengali whose life goes through a riveting exploration of what conscience means in the 21st century, and how we attempt to make our lives count for something. It is a glorious drama, as well as an old-fashioned tale of modern times.

When Bec Shepherd rejects marriage to a powerful  newspaper editor in favour of starting a family with fellow scientist Alex, her sense of right and wrong is put to the test. Bec's brother Ritchie has built a hugely successful career in entertainment, but allegations about his private life are threatening to destroy his marriage, his career and his mind. Does Bec and Alex's relationship stand a chance? Will Ritchie's indiscretions catch up with him?
