| The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend: A Novel by Katarina Bivald; translated by Alice Menzies; narrated by Fiona Hardingham and Lorelei King Fiction. Like The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry or The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, this is a book for bibliophiles. Sara Lindqvist is a Swede visiting Broken Wheel, Iowa, to meet her pen pal, Amy, whom she knows only through letters and the books they've exchanged. Unfortunately, the day Sara arrives is also the day of Amy's funeral. To honor her, Sara decides to open a bookshop in one of the town's abandoned storefronts, with unanticipated results. A bit of romance and plenty of quirky characters round out this endearing debut novel. Narrator Fiona Hardingham brings the diversity of Broken Wheel's population to life, and Lorelei King effectively voices Amy's letters. |
