![]() ![]() As in Austen, love conquers but just who and how will come as a pleasant surprise. New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Katarina Bivalds The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a sweet, smart, and uplifting story about how books find us, change us, and connect us. Amy's nephew, Tom Harris, Poor George, Caroline Rohde, and the rest all bear their own hurts and each is, in some way, healed by Sara's presence and her books. Sara is unassuming and, as an outsider, provides a wonderful view of the Iowans. Bivald fills the pages with book references, chief among them Austen and Bridget Jones, but it is her characters that will win readers over. She decides to give back by opening Amy's old store and sharing Amy's books with the community. Sara is bewildered but the townsfolk insist that she stay in Amy's house and generally refuse to let her pay for anything. Erstwhile bookseller Sara Lindqvist has traveled from her home in Sweden to the tiny town of Broken Wheel, Iowa, in order to spend time relaxing and reading with her pen pal, Amy Harris, but what she finds upon arriving is that she's just in time for Amy's funeral. ![]() Swedish author Bivald's debut novel is a delight. ![]()
