A warm, book-lover’s novel that celebrates the quiet power of reading, friendship, and unexpected community, The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend follows Sara Lindqvist, a shy Swedish bookseller who travels to a small American town after the death of a beloved pen friend. Stranded in rural Iowa, Sara slowly transforms the lives of the town’s residents by sharing the books she loves — discovering, in turn, how stories can heal, connect, and give people courage.
 
Translated from Swedish by Alice Menzies, this novel became an international bestseller, widely praised for its charm, gentle humour, and affectionate nods to classic literature. Often compared to The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, it is a modern feel-good classic for bibliophiles.
