Kurt

About the search for family, the longing for the right place, and the fact that none of it can be planned. I moved in with two Kurts: a full-time Kurt and a part-time Kurt. Jana and Kurt have decided to share custody, especially since Kurt is moving to the countryside. So now the child alternates weekly between his two homes in Oranienburg: two houses, two bedrooms, different rules, and all the people he loves. And then there's me. Lena bought a house with her boyfriend Kurt. It seems that her biggest challenge is adjusting to the new family dynamics, to the idea that Brandenburg is supposed to be home now. But when little Kurt dies in an accident, three adults are left behind who must learn anew how to live. Sarah Kuttner has written a novel about grief, about the strength people can develop, and about the fact that some questions have no answers. Kurt tells in a gentle, humorous, and above all, calm manner how one can find oneself again after a terrible loss and how to be there for someone who is inconsolable. Sarah Kuttner writes about a completely normal complicated family, about what holds them together when the worst happens. She tells this tragedy directly and lightly, yet with a deep seriousness, as simply and complicatedly as only Sarah Kuttner can.
