Reviews"Hall serves up twist after twist in her canny U.S. debut, a story of grief, love, and murder set in the Dorset countryside. This sharp morality tale will stay with readers." -- Publishers Weekly "A love story like no other. By turns a searing mystery, and a brilliant and beautiful look at the price of a second chance, and the complex notion of fate and forgiveness. Stunning." --Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark "Stirring, poetic and mysterious, Clare Leslie Hall's novel, Broken Country , reveals how tender and innocent love between a boy and a girl can alter the lives of families for generations. Even on a quaint and quiet sheep farm of rural England, misguided passion brings murder and criminal charges against the most innocent of players because human nature is far from tame. Yet, even as love destroys, it can return to heal on the same sacred meadow where it was first conceived. This evocative, sensitive and compelling novel fires directly at the human heart and hits the mark."-- Delia Owens, New York Times bestselling author of Where the Crawdads Sing " Broekn Country is a beautifully observed and brilliantly constructed page-turner of novel. It has everything - love, loss, fury, forgiveness - and I was absolutely immersed from page one." --Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes and The Half Moon " Broken Country is mesmerizing: delicate and forceful, lyrical, brutal, and passionate. I devoured it."-- Miranda Cowley Heller, New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace " Broken Country combines the intoxicating passion of Sally Rooney's Normal People with the hard-won wisdom of Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach. It is also as romantic about the British countryside as Elena Ferrante is about Naples. Both a love story and a pulsing suspense, you could wait a lifetime for a novel as good as this."-- Jo Furniss, author of The Last to Know, A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK " Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall is an unforgettable story of love, loss, and the choices that shape our lives...but it's also a masterfully crafted mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Seriously, that ending?! I did not see it coming." --Reese Witherspoon "Broken Country is at its heart a novel about love and loss, about selfishness and selflessness, and about the consequences of decisions made for these reasons. Each decision is driven by the one before it, and Beth, especially, is stretched to her breaking point. Both aching and thrilling, Broken Country is a masterful book by an accomplished author." -- Booklist "[Hall's] prose is so transportive that it's impossible not to hang on...an elegantly written historical novel with a compelling love triangle and a couple of clever twists." -- Kirkus "Hall serves up twist after twist in her canny U.S. debut, a story of grief, love, and murder set in the Dorset countryside.

SynopsisA REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER " Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall is an unforgettable story of love, loss, and the choices that shape our lives...but it's also a masterfully crafted mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Seriously, that ending?! I did not see it coming." --Reese Witherspoon "Stirring and mysterious...fires directly at the human heart and hits the mark." --Delia Owens, New York Times bestselling author of Where the Crawdads Sing A love triangle unearths dangerous, deadly secrets from the past in this thrilling tale perfect for fans of The Paper Palace and Where the Crawdads Sing . "The farmer is dead. He is dead, and all anyone wants to know is who killed him." Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth's brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn't realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager--the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident. As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel's life, tensions around the village rise and dangerous secrets and jealousies from the past resurface, this time with deadly consequences. Beth is forced to make a choice between the woman she once was, and the woman she has become. A sweeping love story with the pace and twists of a thriller, Broken Country is a novel of simmering passion, impossible choices, and explosive consequences that toggles between the past and present to explore the far-reaching legacy of first love.
