Summary
“An unforgettable story of love, loss, and the choices that shape our lives” (Reese Witherspoon)—that sold over a million copies and is soon to be a major motion picture.
“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
“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, though 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. 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 a few years earlier in a tragic accident.
As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel’s life, tensions around the village rise and dangerous secrets and latent jealousies from the past resurface, this time with deadly consequences. Beth is forced to choose between the woman she once was, and the woman she has become.
A sweeping love story with the 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.

Reviews
"Morahan does an incredible job voicing Beth as a heartbroken schoolgirl and as an older woman reflecting on recent events with focused detachment. Morahan skillfully balances the crisp voices of posh English students and the soft tones of suspicious country farmers."
“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
“BROKEN 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
