Publisher's Summary
Would you betray your lover to give them what they wanted? 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.

"Heartbreaking"
It takes a little while until the story picks up speed but you’ll be highly rewarded. It is a very complex story inhabited by very complex characters that Mr.Meek had brought to life in such a brilliant way. They all seem so real and interact in a way which is very realistic but planted into unusual circumstances. I actually started to live with them, and really worry about them - which has never happend before and was quite a unique experience . I loved the book in it’s abundance of life as it is tragic and funny at the same time as well as mirroring the English culture in morals and politics in the 21st century.

"drone"
This may be a very good book, but I couldn't bring myself to persevere the drone of the narrators voice beyond chapter 3.
