A Comfy Night in with Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall
Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall is a quiet, thoughtful novel that gently pulls you into its world. Set against a rural backdrop, the story feels grounded and intimate, focusing on the small moments that shape a life just as much as the big ones. From the start, there’s a sense of stillness to the writing—like standing in an open field and letting the wind move through you—inviting you to slow down and really take it all in.
At its heart, this book is about love, loss, and the emotional landscapes we carry with us. The characters are deeply human, shaped by grief, longing, and unspoken truths. Rather than rushing the story, the author lets it unfold naturally, allowing feelings to surface in quiet, meaningful ways. It’s the kind of book where the emotions build slowly, sneaking up on you when you least expect it.
Reading Broken Country felt reflective and tender, perfect for moments when you want something thoughtful rather than fast-paced. It’s a story that sits with you after you’ve finished, asking you to consider the choices we make and the lives we leave behind. If you enjoy character-driven novels with a strong sense of place and emotional depth, this is a beautiful book to curl up with—best read slowly, with time to breathe between the pages.
⭐Rating: 5/5. Recommended for all readers, especially those who love surprise ending.
