On this episode of Debut Discussions we welcome Clare Leslie Hall to discuss her novel Broken Country, a sweeping love story with the pace and twists of a thriller mixed with a courtroom drama!
We chat with Clare about her journey from a passionate reader to a successful novelist, sharing insights into her writing process, the personal inspiration behind Broken Country and the complexities of character development, particularly her protagonist, Beth.
We also discuss how Clare wrote one of the best, most well-done love triangles ever, the intensity of her intimate scenes, and the ways the novel explores themes of love, loss, family and nostalgia.
Broken Country is out now -- buy it, read it, and share it (in other words, make a debut author’s dreams come true!).
