Book Review: Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall

Clare Leslie Hall's Broken Country (affiliate link) has been a bestseller and phenomenon, as has the similar book Where the Crawdads Sing.

Family drama on a farm


Beth runs a farm with her husband Frank. In her past, she had a first love with Gabriel, a boy from the same village who became a successful playboy writer. When Gabriel returns to the village with his son, old wounds open up. Then something terrible happens. Who is to blame?

Once again, much ado about nothing. This is supposed to be a thriller, but I don't think it is.

Watch out for some SPOILERS below the picture.

 

Clare Leslie Hall: Missä maa murtuu


 

Are there really people like Frank? Who happily let people shit on them, over and over again?

And what's the point of humanity forcing itself into monogamy? If it's not inherently so, why let yourself be brainwashed and forced into it? I always wonder the same thing in soap operas, for example.

Right at the beginning of the book, lambs and a dog are killed. If you can't stand animals dying, don't read this book.
