In Heartbreak, Craig Raine’s startlingly moving, intellectually nimble, sexually candid, wickedly funny first novel, the central character is not a person, but an invisible metaphor: heartbreak.
Through the stories of a virtuoso cast of characters – among them a physically scarred academic, a strangely beautiful young girl with Down’s syndrome, a world-renowned actress, and a brilliant Czech poet – Heartbreak investigates one of the most elusive yet deeply felt of human conditions. It is a compassionate and textured novel about what happens to us when love and loss collide.
