(Read by Fiona Hardingham and Lorelei King; Random House Audio; 10 CDs; 12 hours and 10 minutes)
Single and lonely, Swedish bookseller Sara Lindqvist has an online friendship with another book-loving lady in Broken Wheel, Iowa. Accepting an invitation to visit, Sara finds purpose and love amid Amy’s many books. You can see where the story is headed, but the journey is sweet and appealing. Fiona Hardingham, with her endearing British accent, reads the bulk of the tale, while Lorelei King narrates Amy’s letters to Sara. Hardingham breathes more life into her sections, but her American accents are problematic.
