# Broken Country: 'I stayed up until 4am to finish it, something I haven't done in years' Florence Knapp, author of THE NAMES

The Broken Country novel series by Clare Leslie Hall explores the intersection of intense romance and gripping mystery. Set against a gentle pastoral backdrop, these stories examine how small decisions lead to cataclysmic consequences and life-altering secrets.

The prose maintains the fast pace of a crime novel while delving into the sociological impacts of social expectations and family duty.
