The Heart Broke In: A Novel
The problem withThe Heart Broke Inis that it's difficult to mount an exploration of moral uncertainty when the contrasts you're dealing in are so stark. While the novel can't quite support its intellectual agenda, it is a colorful and urgently paced work that does deserve this praise: It would have been impossible to predict. With all his energy and ambition, Meek seems determined to never write the same book twice.     —Edmund Gordon
