Review:
'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
