THE READERS OF BROKEN WHEEL RECOMMEND

Sara and Amy were pen pals who discussed and traded books over the years. When Sara decides to travel from her home in Sweden to Broken Wheel, Iowa, to meet Amy, her journey ends in disappointment--Amy has passed away. With two months to spend in the backward little town, Sara decides to change the lives of Broken Wheel's citizens with books. Fiona Hardingham, narrating with her charming English accent, takes the main narrative of the audiobook. Though her Iowan and other American accents don't quite ring true, she remains fully engaged with the story and characters. Lorelei King narrates the letters from Amy to Sara in a purely straightforward manner. The dual narration fits well with the story--and the whole thing is sweet, impossible, and romantic.
