“The world doesn’t stop turning for one fucking second. It doesn’t even slow down.”
Lena has bought a house with her boyfriend Kurt, who brings along his six years old son: little Kurt. It seems like her biggest challenge will be getting used to the new family arrangement and to rural Brandenburg now being her home. But when little Kurt dies in a fall, he leaves behind three adults whose centre implodes in grief.
Sarah Kuttner has written a novel about grief, about the strength people can develop and about the fact that some questions don’t have an answer. Kurt tells the gentle, humorous and above all calm story of how people can find themselves again after a terrible loss, and how to be there for someone who can’t be consoled.
