Synopsis
A 2026 Audie Award Finalist for Fiction
“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.
