About The Book

A life-changing love story. A devastating decision.

1972. Alice Garland can’t take her eyes off Jacob Earl. With his black curls and snakeskin boots, the lead singer of the Disciples commands the stage. It’s the beginning of a passionate relationship. For a while it feels like they’re at the centre of something electrifying. But it doesn’t take long before the dream starts to fall apart.

2000. Even the arrival of his gorgeous baby son can’t stop Luke feeling like an outsider. When he finds his birth mother, Alice, it seems like he’s found the missing piece in his life. And she seems delighted to be a grandmother.

But Alice is still battling with demons of her own – she’s still not forgotten the heart-breaking event that forced her to give up Luke.

She will do anything to stop history repeating itself.

About the Author

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.
