“Astonishing … an uncommonly rich picture of Black American family life in early 20th century Jim Crow America.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

This “vibrant portrait of African American life” in Jazz Age Kansas City captures the magic of childhood and parental love through the eyes of a remarkable boy (New York Times)



This must-read rediscovery, published in an elegant and unabridged paperback edition with a new foreword, is a literary masterpiece poised to take its rightful place in the American literary canon.

Such Sweet Thunder immerses readers in the life of a precocious infant, Amerigo Jones, and then tells the story of his first 18 years as he becomes aware of the adult world, from racism and crime to falling in love. All the while, in one of the most moving homages to parents ever to appear in literature, Amerigo is protected by Viola and Rutherford, who are loving and, mostly, even-tempered, but also desperately young — teenagers themselves when Amerigo is born — and poor.

When it was finally published in 2003, 40 years after Carter completed it and 20 years after he died, Critics hailed the novel’s “unflinching condemnation of a society that rejects bright, eager Black children” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer).

This “colossal work of fiction” (The Kansas City Star) and “vibrant portrait of African-American life” (New York Times) is set in an era marred by racial segregation and relentless, daily injustices and yet renders with deep appreciation and artistry a time and place enriched by a widely influential African American culture and a fierce feeling for family and community.

Beautiful sunscreen
Color: Medium
The perfect skincare/sunscreen/tint! I am a huge fan of tinted moisturizers and struggle with finding the correct color, texture and staying power. Color science is a clear winner here. A luxurious product, creamy, perfect moisture, coverage and the perfect tone. A++ will buy again…..and again.❤️

I love this product
Color: Medium
I love this product. Best tinted moisturizer I've ever used. My low star rating is for the product container. On this tube (and the last one I ordered as well) the top separates from the base. When this happens, I can't pump the product out. I have to fiddle around with it quite a bit to get it reattached and then fiddle around some more to get it pumping again. At the price of this product, this issue should really be addressed. I can't believe I'm the only one who is dealing with this. Especially since the last two tubes performed in the same way.

SO GOOD
Color: Light
This product is so velvety and goes onto the skin so nicely. As per usual, it feels like natural skin but it has great coverage -- I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know what Colorscience does, but they have the magic. I am a forever customer of all of their products. It's a plus that their products are good for the skin AND have SPF as well.

Holy grail of tinted spf
Color: Light
I’ve tried numerous brands that I won’t mention but at least 20…. and this little tube of tint was my answer. I have very light skin and every other brand has a light shade that isn’t light enough or is too yellow or orange. Well the tint du soliel in light is the perfect answer to my fair pink undertone skin. It is the most beautiful consistency and I apply it with a beauty blender (yes I lose some product with the blender method - but the final result is an EVEN beautiful light and natural tint that literally looks like skin itself- absolutely no streaking or cakiness). It was remarkably easy to blend and immediately set to its beautiful satin finish. I’m just floored at how good my face looks. It’s very pricey at $60 for just 1.0 oz, but with this formula and aesthetic, it is absolutely worth it. I just ordered another one even though I’m not even half way through my first bottle! I’m a fan for life. Try this tint du soleil!!!!

Best sunscreen I tried. Be sure to rub it in and let it absorb into your skin.
Size: 6.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: Lotion (SPF 50)
This is an excellent product that absorbs quickly and leaves no chalky white or thick oily residue. UVA and UVB protection at spf 50. Two out of four of the active ingredients are double the amount in other brands and it has more of the two remaining ingredients so I guess it’s not my imagination that it’s more effective than other brands I’ve used. No detectable odors. Has an ingredient to help sand from sticking but I haven’t been on sand so can’t comment on that. It left white marks on the edge of the neck of my black crew neck T-shirt when I didn’t rub the sunscreen in and let it dry. However the marks came out in the wash. It stays where you put it, but keep it away from the eyes. Expensive probably because there are more of the active ingredients. I use it only on my face and neck but it is the best sunscreen I have tried.
