The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald


Sara Lindqvist travels from Sweden to Broken Wheel, Iowa, to meet and stay with her pen pal, Amy Harris. They have developed a close relationship because of their love of books. However, when Sara arrives in Broken Wheel, she discovers that Amy has died. Sara decides to stay in Broken Wheel and gets to know the quirky locals, develops a love interest, and opens a bookstore (with the books she finds in Amy’s house). This is a story of community and friendship in unlikely places. I especially loved how this novel was filled with so many book references. If you love books about books, you will want to try this one.
