Broken Country

Beth has built a life in the North Dorset countryside with Frank, shaped by farming, family, memory, and loss. But the return of Gabriel Wolfe-her first love-reopens a past she believed she had left behind.

As the story moves between Beth and Gabriel's earlier relationship, the events of 1968, and a murder trial at the Old Bailey in 1969, the bonds among Beth, Frank, Gabriel, Jimmy, Bobby, Leo, and Grace are tested by grief, desire, loyalty, jealousy, and the consequences of choices made years before.

Set against fields, farms, village pubs, weddings, family homes, and the courtroom, Broken Country blends a sweeping love story with domestic tension and mystery. It is a novel about memory, guilt, marriage, motherhood, first love, and the difficult truth that the past can return long after everyone believes it has been buried.
