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. "Nesser sensitively probes the agonies
and ecstasies of adolescence, making this an exquisite example of
Nordic noir's ability to reveal the darkest emotional depths
beneath a cloudless summer sky." --Publishers Weekly (Starred
Review) "Nesser's novel gains in power as it raises difficult
questions about memory and morality." --Kirkus Reviews 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.
