"The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is one of the more surprisingly improbable and delightful books I've read in years. What begins as an unlikely international friendship based on a mutual love of books becomes a sweet and soulful discovery of America. Quirky, unpredictable, funny, and fresh - a wonderful book." -- Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Beneath the Bonfire, "A manifesto for booksellers, booklovers, and friendship. We should all celebrate these little bookstores, where our souls find home... one of these books you want to live in for a while." - Nina George, New York Times bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop, "The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is one of the more surprisingly improbable and delightful books I've read in years.

Quirky, unpredictable, funny, and fresh - a wonderful book." - Nickolas Butler, internationally bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs and Beneath the Bonfire, "Touching and lively, Bivald's genuine homage to the power of books vibrates with fondness for small-town life and fascination with its indelible connections" - Booklist, "The story is a bit unusual-in a really engaging way. Not only did I enjoy the story, but the author introduced me to other books I can't wait to read. " -- SheKnows, "Swedish author Katarina Bivald beautifully illustrates the relationship between a reader and her books. " -- Bookpage, "Swedish author Bivald's debut novel is a delight. Bivald fills the pages with book references, chief among them Austen and Bridget Jones, but it is her characters that will win readers over... As in Austen, love conquers but just who and how will come as a pleasant surprise." -- Publishers Weekly, "Touching and lively, Bivald's genuine homage to the power of books vibrates with fondness for small-town life and fascination with its indelible connections" -- Booklist, "[A] heartwarming and utterly charming debut by Swedish author Bivald. This gentle, intelligent Midwestern tale will captivate fans of Antoine Laurain's The Red Notebook, Nina George's The Little Paris Bookshop, and Gabrielle Zevin's The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. An ideal book group selection, it reminds us why we are book lovers and why it's nice to read a few happy endings." -- Library Journal, starred review, "This charming, book-loving story captures readers' hearts from the very first page.... This is a must-read for book lovers who enjoy a witty, feel-good story that goes beyond the surface." -- RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars, TOP PICK, "This classic fish-out-of-water story will steal your heart. It's smart, sweet, absorbing and endearing, just like the town of Broken Wheel. It's a story for everyone who believes in the magic of books to enlighten, heal and restore. A treat for readers everywhere!" - Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author of Starlight on Willow Lake, "A manifesto for booksellers, booklovers, and friendship.

This is a must-read for book lovers who enjoy a witty, feel-good story that goes beyond the surface." - RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars, TOP PICK, "This is a very happy book, very feel goof and you will be smiling when you're done." -- Iowa Public Radio's Talk of Iowa (NPR)

Synopsis
New York Times and USA Today Bestseller! Katarina Bivald's The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a sweet, smart, and uplifting story about how books find us, change us, and connect us. Once you let a book into your life the most unexpected things can happen: Like the bestselling historical novel and Netflix film The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a heartwarming reminder of why we love books. Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara: Sara traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal Amy, but when she arrives she finds Amy's funeral guests just leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor--there's not much else to do in a dying small town that's almost beyond repair. You certainly wouldn't open a bookstore. And definitely not with Sara the tourist in charge. You'd need a vacant storefront (Main Street is full of them), books (Amy's house is full of them), and...customers. The bookstore might be a little quirky. Then again, so is Sara. But Broken Wheel's own story might be funnier, more eccentric and surprising than she thought. If you liked big-hearted books like The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry or Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, you will love The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend. Praise for The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend: "The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend is a warm and slyly funny look at small towns and romance..."--New York Journal of Books "A heartwarming tale about literature's power to transform."--People "What begins as an unlikely international friendship based on a mutual love of books becomes a sweet and soulful discovery of America.
