“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.”
When her husband Frank shoots a dog who is going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives.
For the dog belongs to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager, the man who broke her heart. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth so much of her own son Bobby, who died a few years earlier.
As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel and Leo’s lives, tensions around the village rise, and jealousy rears its ugly head. Beth and Frank are happily married, but they have their fair share of secrets, and their relationship relies on the past staying buried.
When the truth begins to come out, events spiral out of control, with deadly consequences. And Beth must make a choice – between the woman she once was, and the woman she has become.
A novel of simmering passion, impossible choices, and explosive consequences, Broken Country toggles between past and present to create an equally tender and shocking examination of the far-reaching legacy of first love.
