A life-changing love story. A devastating decision.

1972. Alice Garland can't take her eyes off Jacob Earl. With his black curls and snakeskin boots, the lead singer of the Disciples commands the stage. It's the beginning of a passionate relationship. For a while, it feels like they're at the centre of something electrifying. But it doesn't take long before the dream starts to fall apart.

2000. Even the arrival of his gorgeous baby son can't stop Luke feeling like an outsider. When he finds his birth mother, Alice, it seems like he's found the missing piece in his life. And she seems delighted to be a grandmother. But Alice is still battling with demons of her own - she's still not forgotten the heart-breaking event that forced her to give up Luke. She will do anything to stop history repeating itself.

About the Author

After several years of living and working in London as a journalist and writing Pictures of Him and Days You Were Mine, Clare, her husband and three children moved to an old farmhouse in Dorset. The house, the ancient fields surrounding it and the farmers who have a deep connection to the land inspired the setting for Broken Country.

Broken Country will be published in thirty-one countries.
