“Haunting and evocative…strikes straight at the heart.”
A long-buried love triangle resurfaces with deadly consequences in this gripping novel, 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 lives a quiet life with her kind, steady husband Frank—a marriage built on shared history and unspoken truths. But when Frank’s brother shoots a dog attacking their sheep, Beth has no idea the gunshot will unravel everything. The dog belonged to Gabriel Wolfe—the man who once shattered her heart. And now he’s back in the village, with his young son Leo, whose presence stirs memories of Beth’s own child, lost in a tragic accident. As Gabriel reenters her life, old wounds begin to ache and long-hidden secrets rise to the surface. Tensions simmer in the village, and the past refuses to stay buried. Beth is soon caught between the comfort of the life she’s built and the pull of the woman she used to be. A compelling blend of suspense and emotion, Broken Country is a powerful story of first love, long-held regrets, and the choices that echo through generations—told in a dual timeline that builds toward an unforgettable climax.
