Everyone in the village said nothing good would come of Gabriel’s return. And as Beth looks at the man she loves on trial for murder, she can’t help thinking they were right.

Beth was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. Over that heady, intense summer, he made her think and feel and see differently. She thought it was the start of her great love story. When Gabriel left to become the person his mother expected him to be, she was broken.

It was Frank who picked up the pieces and together they built a home very different from the one she’d imagined with Gabriel. Watching her husband and son, she remembered feeling so sure that, after everything, this was the life she was supposed to be leading.

But when Gabriel comes back, all Beth’s certainty about who she is and what she wants crumbles. Even after ten years, their connection is instant. She knows it’s wrong and she knows people could get hurt. But how can she resist a second chance at first love?

A love story with the pulse of a thriller, Broken Country is a heart-pounding novel of impossible choices and devastating consequences.

作者简介

克莱尔·莱斯利·霍尔的小说《破碎的国度》（Broken Country）将于3月4日由美国西蒙与舒斯特的出版社和英国约翰·默里出版社出版。该书已被翻译成全球29种语言，并由索尼3000和Hello Sunshine公司联合开发电影改编版。

克莱尔职业生涯的前半段在多家全国性报纸担任记者，之后以克莱尔·埃普森（Clare Empson）的笔名在英国和德国出版了小说《他》（HIM）和《我的》（MINE）。这两部小说将以克莱尔·莱斯利·霍尔的笔名重新出版，书名为《他的画像》（Pictures of Him）和《你曾属于我的日子》（Days You Were Mine）。

她喜欢的几部小说——《了不起的盖茨比》（The Great Gatsby）、《秘密历史》（The Secret History）、《月虎》（Moon Tiger）和《中间人》（The Go-Between）——奠定了她喜爱阅读和创作的文学风格。她的三部小说都将炽热的爱情故事与悬疑元素巧妙融合。

克莱尔已婚，育有三个孩子，居住在多塞特郡一座被田野环绕的古老农舍里，这片田野正是《破碎的国度》的创作灵感来源。

Clare Leslie Hall's novel Broken Country will be published on March 4 by Simon & Schuster in the US and John Murray in the UK. It is also being translated into 29 languages worldwide and a film adaptation of the novel is in development with Sony 3000 and Hello Sunshine.

Clare spent the first half of her career as a journalist on national newspapers before publishing two novels HIM and MINE under the name Clare Empson in the UK and Germany. The novels are being republished under the name Clare Leslie Hall as Pictures of Him and Days You Were Mine.

Her favourite novels - The Great Gatsby, The Secret History, Moon Tiger and The Go-Between - set a blueprint for the kind of books Clare loves to read and now write. Her threee novels all combine passionate love stories with an element of mystery and suspense.

Clare is married with three children and lives in Dorset in an old farmhouse surrounded by fields, which inspired the setting for Broken Country.
