亞馬遜當月最佳選書!一旦你讓一本書走進你的生活,最意想不到的事情都可能發生……
莎拉,是一個寧靜的瑞典小鎮女孩,也是一個愛讀書的書店店員。突然有天,她工作的書店無預警關門,這時她多年的筆友、也是愛書人的艾米,便邀請莎拉到愛荷華住一段時間。
當莎拉抵達這個愛荷華小鎮時,卻赫然發現,艾米的葬禮剛結束:原來艾米已病得很重,但卻從未告訴她的好友。莎拉想回老家,但鎮民卻說艾米會希望莎拉能在這個小鎮待一段時間,於是莎拉在這裡—只有幾家小店、一間餐廳,和三十幾戶居民的小鎮住了下來。
這個快要消失的小鎮接受了莎拉,而莎拉也將居民們當作自己的家人,甚至開始根據她這些新朋友的性格,介紹他們書籍。這個小鎮的居民原本並未意識到閱讀的樂趣,卻因為莎拉,開始有自己想讀的書。
《The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend》是一個溫馨的閱讀故事,提醒我們書如何找到我們、改變我們,並怎麼走進我們的人生。(文/博客來編譯)
Broken Wheel, Iowa, has never seen anyone like Sara, who traveled all the way from Sweden just to meet her book-loving pen pal. When she arrives, however, she finds Amy's funeral guests just
leaving. The residents of Broken Wheel are happy to look after their bewildered visitor -- not much else to do in a small town that's almost beyond repair. They just never imagined that she'd
start a bookstore. Or that books could bring them together – and change everything.
There's a book for every person ... and a person for every book.
