An evening with Rosie Walsh and Clare Leslie Hall: The One Day You Were My Husband & Broken Country
The Grosvenor Arms, Shaftesbury, SP7 8JA
Tuesday 26th May 2026
Join us for an evening in conversation with million-copy bestselling authors, Rosie Walsh and Clare Leslie Hall, to celebrate their novels The One Day You Were My Husband and Broken Country.
‘Heart-stopping . . . as unputdownable as it is brilliantly told. Rosie Walsh is one of those rare authors who delivers twisting plots along with gorgeous prose, all-too-real characters, and emotional depth. I couldn’t sleep until I finished this book!’ – Carley Fortune, bestselling author of One Golden Summer
A love story with the pulse of a thriller, Broken Country is a heart-pounding novel of impossible choices and devastating consequences, an instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller.
'An unforgettable story of love, loss, and the choices that shape our lives . . . but it's also a masterfully crafted mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Seriously, that ending?! I did not see it coming' –
Reese Witherspoon
'I defy you not to be in tears by the end of this book' – Harriet Tyce, author of Witch Trial

Rosie Walsh has lived and travelled all over the world, working as a documentary producer and writer. Her previous novels, The Man Who Didn't Call and The Love of My Life, were international bestsellers and have sold over two million copies worldwide. The One Day You Were My Husband is her third novel. She lives in Devon with her partner and two children.
Clare Leslie Hall is a journalist and novelist with a background in national newspapers. She published two domestic noir novels, Pictures of Him and Days You Were Mine (both reissued in new paperback editions by John Murray this year), before turning to book club fiction with her third novel Broken Country. Clare is married with three children and lives Dorset in an old farmhouse surrounded by fields, which inspired the setting for her novel.
