Items related to A Summer With Kim Novak (Colibri-bibliotheek)
Fourteen-year old Erik and his friend Edmund spend their summer vacation in 1962 by a Swedish lake, daydreaming about Ewa, a young teacher who looks just like actress Kim Novak. When Ewa's fiance is found dead, Erik's brother is the prime suspect at first, but the actual killer is never found. Twenty-five years later, when Erik happens to come across an article about unsolved crimes, he is overwhelmed by memories about that summer. What really happened back then? And why was Ewa's fiance murdered?

"The English translation by Saskia Vogel is excellent, and I was moved between tears and laughter while reading the story of the truly unforgettable summer." --Crime Review
