Richard and Judy Book Club
The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend have been selected by Richard and Judy’s Book Club for their autumn 2016 list.
Richard about the book:
Sometimes when you read a debut novel you feel as if you’ve come home. You know you’re listening to a voice speaking inside your head that’s a very welcome new visitor.
Katarina Bivald’s quirky, charming story is one of those. This is a book about books, and it doesn’t so much grab you from the start as slip a warm hand gently into yours and lead you insistently into the world she has created. And that’s doubly remarkable because not only is this a first novel, it’s a translation from the original Swedish.
And Judy:
It’s a wonderful tale and if you don’t fall for Bivald’s storytelling charm, I’ll eat the paperback.
Although I can’t help noticing that she didn’t offer to eat the hardcover.
