Broken Country offers up a riveting tale of love, betrayal, and buried secrets that come to light in a small, insular village.
Beth and her husband Frank have built a quiet life together, but everything changes when her brother-in-law shoots a stray dog—one that belonged to Gabriel Wolfe, Beth’s first love.
As Gabriel reenters her life, Beth is drawn to the ghosts of her past, including the tragic loss of her son. Tensions simmer in the village as old jealousies and secrets resurface, creating a powder keg of emotions and conflicts.
The novel shifts seamlessly between past and present, revealing the choices that shaped Beth’s life and the devastating consequences of those choices. With the sweeping romance of The Paper Palace and the atmospheric tension of Where the Crawdads Sing, Broken Country will captivate readers.
It’s a tale of passion, life changing choices, and the weight of long-buried truths. Book clubs will enjoy digging into the novel’s themes of grief and first love!
