"The farmer is dead. He's dead, and all anyone wants to know is: who killed him?"

Beth and her husband, Frank, a kind and gentle man, are a happy couple. But their happiness is built on a past they prefer to keep buried. Everything changes when Beth's brother-in-law shoots a dog that is attacking their sheep. What she doesn't know is that the dog belongs to Gabriel Wolfe, her first love — the one who broke her heart years ago.

Back in the village with his young son Leo, Gabriel rekindles memories and emotions in Beth that she thought were long gone. As tensions rise and jealousies and secrets from the past resurface, the consequences become tragic. Beth will have to choose between the woman she once was and the woman she has become.

Both a grand love story and a gripping thriller, Broken Country is a novel about passion, impossible choices, and their consequences. Alternating between past and present, Clare Leslie Hall sensitively explores the indelible mark of first love.
