Everyone loves Sara’s bookshop and they want to ensure she can stay on - not least Tom, her love interest.

Katarina Bivald's warm, funny and moving story of love and friendship was first published in Swedish.

The heroine Sara has left native Sweden to visit her much older pen pal Amy in a remote part of Iowa, a town aptly called Broken Wheel. But, when she arrived, all was not as she had foreseen.

Unexpectedly, she finds herself falling in love with the whole town...

Translated by Alice Menzies.
