Broken Wheel was once a thriving farming town but in recent years has fallen victim to the economic recession. Despite the general scepticism of the townspeople, who aren’t ‘readers’, the residents rally and the bookstore, and Sara, earns a place in their hearts.Įxcerpts of the letters exchanged between Amy and Sara provide background information about the town and it’s people. Looking to repay the towns’ kindness for the remainder of her stay, Sara casts around for an opportunity, eventually settling on the idea of opening a bookstore in one of the many empty Main Street stores using Amy’s extensive personal library. The sensible thing would be to return home, but the townspeople are determined to honour Amy’s commitment and insist that Sara remain. When Sara Lindqvist arrives in Broken Wheel, Iowa from Sweden in response to an invitation from her elderly penpal and fellow book lover, Amy, she is upset to learn that her host has passed away.
The premise of The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald is irresistible to any book lover.
