About The Book

Her silence destroyed him. Only the truth will set them free.

Catherine has experienced something so traumatic that she can’t speak. Or won’t speak. The doctors say the only way forward is to look into her past.

Fifteen years ago, Catherine met the love of her life at university. Lucian was charming, adored her and she was drawn into the hedonistic and careless lifestyle of his wealthy friends. They were inseparable – then one morning Catherine left him without a word.

She married, had two children, and was convinced she’d moved on. But when they are unexpectedly reunited, the memories of their intoxicating love affair come rushing back. They could be that boy and girl again, and this time get it right. To do that, Catherine will have to tell Lucian why she left all those years ago.

She’s lived with the truth. But can he?

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.
