Sumár recenzie
Román Zlomená krajina je medzinárodným debutom britskej autorky Clare Leslie Hall a ponúka emotívny, citlivo písaný príbeh, ktorý som zaradila medzi svoje TOP knihy roka 2025. Príbeh sleduje Beth, ktorá po intenzívnom lete s Gabrielom nakoniec vstúpi do manželstva s dobrosrdečným farmárom Frankom a žije pokojným vidieckym životom. Bethin usporiadaný svet sa zrúti, keď sa Gabriel sa po desiatich rokoch vráti, vyvolá milostný trojuholník a neskôr je obvinený z vraždy, čo ju postaví pred morálne ťažké rozhodnutie. Autorka strieda časové linky, vyniká v psychológii postáv a ak máte radi emotívne psychologické romány s prvkami romantiky a krimi, túto knihu vám jednoznačne odporúčam.

Kniha Zlomená krajina od Clare Leslie Hall, vybraná za knihu mesiaca v knižnom klube Reese Witherspoon, rozpráva príbeh Beth, ktorá po letnom romániku s Gabrielom založí život s Frankom, no musí čeliť Gabrielovmu návratu. Autorka striedaním minulých a súčasných časových línií a postupným odhaľovaním tajomstiev vytvára napätie vedúce k neočakávanému vyvrcholeniu; postavy sú komplexné a emotívne vykreslené, čo čitateľa silno zasiahne. Pre mňa ide o dojímavý a výborne napísaný román, ktorý citlivo skúma, ako minulosť formuje naše rozhodnutia a city, a ostáva s čitateľom dlho po dočítaní.
