Well, the country is quite broken right now, so the title stands out for it's accuracy, and the stories told within are of people who are also struggling mightily.
Beth had big dreams as a teenager. She was in love with Gabriel, who encouraged her to reach for the stars, and she was on course to go to Oxford and fulfill her dreams of writing. It was all set off course by Gabriel, a misunderstanding, and his mother, who did and didn't do her part, and Beth decided to marry someone else from her class, a man who had loved her for years.
Beth and Frank lead a fulfilling life. They love each other and work alongside each other, along with Frank’s volatile brother Jimmy, on the Blakely family farm in Dorset. They had a son soon after they were married, and he died in a tragic accident that both Frank and Beth blame on Frank.
Enter Gabriel, returned from years away, on the verge of a divorce, with a son about the age that Beth's would have been, and it is all over for Beth. A love triangle develops for all to see, and it ends tragically.
As with all tragedy's, you can see this one coming from a mile away, but there is no stopping it and no telling how it will end.
