The Readers of Broken
Wheel Recommend
By Katrina Bivald
Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen
anyone like Sara, who traveled all
the way from Sweden just to meet
her pen pal, Amy. When she arrives,
however, she finds that Amy's
funeral has just ended. Luckily, the
townspeople are happy to look after
their bewildered tourist--even if
they don't understand her peculiar
need for books. Marooned in a farm
town that's almost beyond repair,
Sara starts a bookstore in honor of
her friend's memory. All she wants
is to share the books she loves with
the citizens of Broken Wheel and to
convince them that reading is one
of the great joys of life. But she
makes some unconventional choices
that could force a lot of secrets into
the open and change things for
everyone in town. Reminiscent of
The Guernsey Literary and Potato
Peel Pie Society, this is a warm,
witty book about friendship, stories,
and love.
A monthly book discussion
group for adults.
