The Daytime Book Group is a great opportunity to get together (virtually and/or in person in the Meeting Room) and talk about a book the group has read. Make new friends and relax for a while!

This month we will discuss The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald.

It all began with a correspondence between two quite different women: 28-year-old Sara from Haninge, Sweden, and 65-year-old Amy from the small town of Broken Wheel, Iowa. After years of exchanging books, letters and thoughts on the meaning of literature and life, Sara, mousy, disheveled, who has never been anywhere in her life; has really lived only for her work in a beloved bookshop, which has just closed its doors for the last time; bravely decides to accept her unknown friend's invitation to visit. But when she arrives, she finds her house empty, the funeral guests just heading home. Sara finds herself alone. And what choice do the inhabitants of Broken Wheel have but to take care of their bewildered tourist? And what choice does Sara have, faced with a town where nobody reads and her desire to honor her friend, but to set up the perfect bookshop with all the books she and Amy shared.

If you are interested, please contact Amy at processing@barringtonlibrary.com to join. If you would like a copy of the book, please include your full name and phone number in the email so we can get you a copy via interlibrary loan one month prior to the meeting.
