Kosakenberg

Sabine Rennefanz tells the story of what home is and how to leave the provinces behind, full of irony and melancholy.Kathleen has made it. She is successful, eloquent and attractive. She has lived in London for years as a graphic designer. She has left behind where she comes from. At least that's what she thinks. But her visits to her mother in Brandenburg's Kosakenberg confront her with a world that she tried to escape in the 1990s and which now unfolds an unexpected power. With powerful images, Sabine Rennefanz takes us to a village in the east of the country where almost only men have remained and the few women who have not fled trade in eggs, dream of love and talk about those who have left."Sabine Rennefanz tells the story of what it's like to not only find yourself on the journey between your old and new home, but also to lose yourself. A very touching, clever and thought-provoking book." Jenny Erpenbeck.
