The Heart Broke In by James Meek
This very entertaining story covers issues about family life, London life, success, scientific ethics, loyalty and moral dilemmas and serves as a cautionary tale about betrayal. Richie is a once-famous rock star and family man who can't resist teenage girls. His sister Bec zealously researches a cure for malaria but is also looking for love and security. Her spurned lover Val provides the 'baddy' element and the plot thicken . . . I was sad to finish it.
