SUMMARY:An Evening with Clare Leslie Hall
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Public Library\, in partnership with Warwick’s\, is proud to host bestselling author Clare Leslie Hall. She’ll discuss her new novel Broken Country — her U.S. debut and a Reese’s Book Club pick — in conversation with Jason Blitman. A celebrated journalist and novelist\, her latest work is a sweeping love story with the pace and twists of a thriller full of simmering passion\, impossible choices\, and explosive consequences that toggles between the past and present to explore the far-reaching legacy of first love. \nA book-signing will follow. This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come\, first-served\, subject to availability. Limited preferred seating is available with purchase of Broken Country through Warwick’s bookstore.

But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep\, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe\, the man Beth loved as a teenager — the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo\, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son\, who died in a tragic accident. \nAs Beth is pulled back into Gabriel’s life\, tensions around the village rise and dangerous secrets and jealousies from the past resurface\, this time with deadly consequences. Beth is forced to make a choice between the woman she once was\, and the woman she has become. \nAbout Clare Leslie Hall \nClare Leslie Hall is a novelist and journalist.
