Description:
In this brilliant Swedish thriller and sensitive coming-of-age story, a traumatic event shatters the summer of two boys in love with their young teacher.
Sweden in the '60s. Erik and his friend Edmund spend their vacation by a forest lake daydreaming about Ewa, a young substitute teacher with an uncanny resemblance to the actress Kim Novak. The boys are having the time of their lives until a shocking discovery disrupts their world. Twenty-five years later, Erik comes across a newspaper article about unsolved crimes and is overwhelmed by memories and questions from that summer of his youth. What actually happened back then? The Summer of Kim Novak has all the tension and mystery of Nesser's world-famous thrillers, combined with a coming-of-age tale of remarkable psychological precision.
'At
the start of this moving elegy for lost innocence from Nesser (the Inspector
Van Veeteren mysteries), 49-year-old Erik, the book's narrator, promises to
tell the reader about 'a terrible and tragic event' that occurred the summer he
was 14. In 1962, as Erik's mother is dying of cancer, his grieving father sends
the boy to the family's ramshackle lake cabin with 14-year-old Edmund, a fellow
student Erik hardly knows, and Erik's older brother, a reporter who intends to
write the Great Swedish Novel that summer. After a lazy month of swimming and
fantasising, handball champion Berra Albertsson is found dead in a gravel
parking spot near where the boys are staying, his skull caved in, and his
fiancée, Ewa Kaludis, the boys' substitute teacher and the object of their
dreams, is a suspect. Erik and Edmund embark on a protracted murd

Ten Stars
I only use the left two colors but I expected that since I wasn't sure which one(s) would work. They are a great concealer of dark circles. I use the lightest one on the bottom and then touch up with the darker of the two. They don't look caked on and, in fact I can wear them alone without any foundation or powder on my face! And, they lay on top of the fine lines, hiding them somewhat. The brush is great for applying. I have tried many concealers and this is the the best by far.

Reliable protection that stays put during workouts!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many expensive name-brand sunscreens, but this Amazon Basics version performs just as well, if not better. It’s become my go-to for morning runs and trips to the beach because it actually stays on even when I’m sweating.
Why I gave it 5 stars:
Non-Greasy Formula: Unlike other sport sunscreens, this one absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that heavy, sticky film on my skin.
Actually Water Resistant: I’ve used it for laps in the pool and long hikes; as long as I reapply as directed, I haven't had a single sunburn.
No "Sting": One of the best things is that it doesn't run into my eyes and sting when I start to sweat—a huge plus for runners.
Great Value: You get a generous 8-ounce bottle for a fraction of the price of "premium" brands. The fact that it’s formulated without Oxybenzone is an added bonus for peace of mind.
If you’re looking for effective, no-frills sun protection for an active lifestyle, you can't beat this. It’s a staple in my gym bag now!

Great value and very practical
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
This sunscreen is a great value for the price. The SPF 50 protection works well and the lotion applies smoothly without feeling too greasy. It absorbs nicely and provides good coverage for outdoor activities.
I especially like using these bottles to refill the sunscreen dispensers at my Airbnb for guests. It’s convenient, reliable, and affordable when you need multiple bottles available.
Overall, it’s a solid everyday sunscreen and a very practical option if you need good protection at a reasonable price.
