“Can you smell it? the scent of new books. Unread adventures. Friends you haven’t met yet, hours of magical escapism awaiting you,”
Once you let a book into your life, the most unexpected things can happen…
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.
Read Alikes for The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin; The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows; 84,Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff.
