Bookseller recommendation

“Broken Country is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking books I have ever listened to. You would think with a love triangle that you would dislike one or even two of those involved but you can’t help but love and feel really sorry for all involved, because there was definitely heartbreakingly true love and loss. This is a story that you won’t soon forget. You will cry more than once, and you will hope that somehow there will be a way to make everything right. And, in the end there is understanding, forgiveness and grace.”

“As The Wandering Librarian, I can not recommend Broken Country enough. A far off place, a great love affair, characters you’ll fall in love with, plot twists and turns. I rated this book a 5/5 and can not wait for a new release from Clare Leslie Hall. ”

“Absolutely LOVED this book!! There are two trigger warnings I feel the author should have noted, however this story gets immersed inside of your veins and you will not likely want it to end! ”

“If you're thinking it starts a little slow and you're wondering if you should keep going, the answer is YES! My first listening session didn't grab my attention quite as much as I'd hoped, but I gave it one more chance and I'm so glad I did. A beautiful story of one family's experiences, both good and bad. You'll spend most of the time wondering who actually died, but the author really plots this out well to keep you guessing up until the final reveal. A beautiful story on the human condition.”

“This story is SOUL-WRENCHING. Striking, evocative, and intense. From the very first page, I was completely immersed, so deeply connected to the characters that I had to keep reminding myself it’s just fiction. CALM DOWN. STEP OUTSIDE AND TOUCH SOME GRASS. It’s rare to find a book that captures the full depth of human emotion the way this one does. ”
