Thursday Night Book Club: Broken Country

Come talk books with other bibliophiles! This book group will meet on the fourth Thursday of the month. Limited copies of the current selection will be available at the Lending Desk. Registration is not required.

This month we will be reading "Broken Country" by Clare Leslie Hall.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship depends on the past remaining buried. When Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog attacking their sheep, she has no idea the gunshot will change everything, for the dog belongs to Gabriel Wolfe—the man she loved as a teenager, the man who broke her heart. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth painfully of her own son, who died in a tragic accident. As Beth is drawn back into Gabriel’s life, tensions in the village escalate and long-suppressed secrets and jealousies resurface with dangerous, even deadly, consequences, forcing her to choose between the woman she once was and the woman she has become.
