## Description

desertcart.co.jp: Broken Country (Reese's Book Club) : Hall, Clare Leslie: Foreign Language Books

Review: Beautifully written, heart breaking - “Broken Country” by Clare Leslie Hall is a story set in England in the 1960s and 1970s. I generally don’t enjoy a multiple time-lined story, but in this case, it works well. The book opens when a farmer shoots a neighbor’s dog when it kills his newborn sheep. The neighbor, it turns out, is Beth’s first love from when she was a teenager. Gabriel has moved back to his family’s beautiful home with his ten-year-old son. A friendship begins and the reader learns that what happened in the past is not so easily forgotten. I enjoyed this book a lot, although I felt at times Beth’s husband Frank was way more saintly than a man would generally be when faced these circumstances. Perhaps he is the “perfect” man which really doesn’t exist. Many thanks to Net Galley and to the publisher for an ARC of this book. My opinions are my own.
Review: 女のサガと男の純情が悲劇を生むラブストーリー - イングランド ドーセット州の穏やかな農場地帯。多感な娘べスは富豪の息子ガブリエルと恋仲になったが彼の母親が家柄を理由に介入して破談となった。失意のべスを幼馴染のフランクが慰め、やがてフランクと結婚して羊農家の主婦となり可愛い息子ボビーをもうけた。フランクにはこの上なく仲の良い弟ジミーがいて皆で幸せに過ごしていた。ところが突然近所にガブリエルが引っ越してきて一家の平穏が乱される。話としては波乱含みの展開でとても惹きつけられる。しかし章が１９５５年のべスの少女時代と１９６８年の現在を行き来するのは仕方ないとしても、過去章が１９５５年から少しずつ現在に近づいてくるし、ついには現在と思っていたのがもっと先があったと明かされて、ついていくのに戸惑う。さらに時期不明の「裁判」沙汰が入り込んでどうやらこれが話の肝らしいが何時・何の事件か 被害者・被告は誰か、などなかなか教えないという引っ張りでかなりイラつく。時期を行き来する手法は別の作にもみられるので作者の好みのようで、これでどうだ、という作者の思惑が鼻につき、単細胞の読み手としてはあっさり時系列を追って緊張を高めてくれたほうがありがたい。
