Download or read book Between Summer s Longing and Winter s End written by Leif GW Persson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young man falls to his death from a window in a student dorm in Stockholm, his loose shoe striking and killing the little dog being taken for his evening walk by an old man. It seems to be a mundane suicide—at least that’s what the police choose to think. But the young man is American, not Swedish, and there are a couple of odd things about his room when they search it. . . . From these tiny beginnings, Leif GW Persson slowly begins to unravel a puzzle that gets larger and larger as it becomes more and more complex, until it sweeps us into a web of international espionage, backroom politics, greed, sheer incompetence, and the shoddy work of Sweden’s intelligence force that leads to the murder of the prime minister. The first novel in a dark and dazzling trilogy that has become the defining fictional account of the unsolved 1986 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme—an event that triggered the biggest criminal investigation in recorded history—Between Summer’s Longing and Winter’s End is a riveting insider’s combination of black satire, thriller, psychological drama, and police procedural by a writer universally acknowledged as Sweden’s leading criminologist.

Book excerpt: A "captivating and bittersweet" novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Summer of '69: Their secret love affair has lasted for decades—but this could be the summer that changes everything (People). When Mallory Blessing's son, Link, receives deathbed instructions from his mother to call a number on a slip of paper in her desk drawer, he's not sure what to expect. But he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It's the late spring of 2020 and Jake's wife, Ursula DeGournsey, is the frontrunner in the upcoming Presidential election. There must be a mistake, Link thinks. How do Mallory and Jake know each other? Flash back to the sweet summer of 1993: Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage on Nantucket from her aunt, and she agrees to host her brother's bachelor party. Cooper's friend from college, Jake McCloud, attends, and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere—through marriage, children, and Ursula's stratospheric political rise—until Mallory learns she's dying. Based on the classic film Same Time Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per-year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives, and the lives of the people they love.

A psychologist returns to his hometown in Tennessee during the pandemic to spend time with a childhood friend battling cancer and to solve the mystery of the disappearance 50 years ago of a fellow employee at a state psychiatric hospital they both worked at in the late ‘60s and to finally let go of the anger he carried with him when he left the South for a career in New England. “Dr. Breazeale and I grew up in a small southern town at a time when life seemed idyllic, at least to us kids. Ron gives us a personal trip through the coming of age that we all experienced as we went out into the “real world.” He deftly weaves this into several stories about his friends and in the process provides a moving and entertaining read.” - Fred H. Smith, PhD, biological anthropologist and friend “Breazeale’s well-written and vivid personal memories add valuable detail in context of the history of Eastern State Psychiatric Hospital and the countercultural era of the University of Tennessee.” - Jack Neely, writer and editor, Knoxville History Project “Drawn in by a decades-old unsolved disappearance and the death of his childhood friend, Dr. Breazeale gives us an introspective and candid look at Tennessee and the “old South,” modern-day northern New England, and his reconciliation of these two opposing cultures. Engaging and insightful, his story reminds us of what’s important, what should be remembered, and what should be left behind.” - Joseph Mazziotti, retired attorney and judge For more information and a collage of photographs from the summers of 1968, 1969, 2020, and 2021 visit: www.abilitycoach.net
