Warning: once you let books into your life, the most unexpected things can happen…
This is a book about books. All sorts of books, from Little Women and Harry Potter to Jodi Picoult and Jane Austen, from to Stieg Larsson to Joyce Carol Oates to Proust. It’s about the joy and pleasure of books, about learning from and escaping into them, and possibly even hiding behind them. It’s about whether or not books are better than real life.
It’s also a book about a Swedish girl called Sara, her elderly American penfriend Amy and what happens when you land a very different kind of bookshop in the middle of a town so broken it’s almost beyond repair.
Or is it?
The Readers of Broken Wheel has touches of 84 Charing Cross Road, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and Chocolat, but adds an off-beat originality and intelligence all its own.

So beautiful. I have fallen in love with this town and these people! A slow natural progression of feeling. Nothing is rushed. It has a great small town Midwestern feel. This is just a heart warming book.
Had some trouble to get into the story, but once there it was a warm and lovable experience.
That was so lovely and sweet and silly. Sara seemed to have such a nice sense of humor, and as a fellow bookworm I appreciated all her book enthusiams and thoughts!
