Sara arrives from Sweden to find her pen pal, Amy, has died.

She’s welcomed by some if not all of the locals, including Amy's nephew.

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

The heroine Sara, is in her late 20s, when she leaves her 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 arrives, all is not as she had foreseen.

Unexpectedly, she finds herself falling in love - not just with one of the men in question, but with the whole town itself.

Translated by Alice Menzies.

Dramatised by Jeremy Raison.
