Editing Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall (section)

=== Character Development ===
Sarah’s character development is the heart of ''Broken Country''. She evolves from a woman struggling with overwhelming grief to someone who begins to find a way forward. Hall intricately weaves Sarah’s inner dialogue and external experiences, allowing readers to connect with her emotional state. Her interactions with the other characters further deepen her transformation, illustrating how relationships can be both a source of healing and a catalyst for further pain.

The secondary characters, while important to the plot, serve primarily as mirrors to Sarah’s own journey. Through their stories, Hall explores themes of connection, alienation, and the ways in which people shape each other’s lives—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.
