Broken Country
In 1968 rural Dorset, Beth Johnson lives a quiet life on a sheep farm with her husband Frank, still grieving their son Bobby's death two years earlier. When Gabriel Wolfe—Beth's first love who broke her heart as a teenager—returns to the village with his young son Leo, old passions reignite and buried secrets resurface. As Beth is pulled back into Gabriel's orbit, a volatile confrontation erupts with deadly consequences, forcing impossible choices about love, loyalty, and sacrifice. A sweeping love story with the pace of a thriller, Broken Country explores the devastating cost of first love and the secrets that bind us.
“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.”
