With powerful images, Sabine Rennefanz takes us to a village in the east of the country, where only the men remain and the few women who didn't run away trade eggs and talk about those who left. What is home and how do you leave the province behind? Sabine Rennefanz talks about it with irony and melancholy.

KEY VISUAL Maike Nedo: Kosakenberg
Sabine Rennefanz
Kathleen did it. She is successful, articulate, attractive. She has been living in London as a graphic designer for years. She has left behind where she comes from. At least that's what she believes. But visits to her mother in Cosakenberg, Brandenburg, confront her with a world that she tried to escape in the early 1990s and that is now developing an unexpected power.
»One that goes - and one that stays. There's a lot of unsaid things in between. Sabine Rennefanz has written a touching novel about origins and foreignness, about what begins anew when you set out, but also about what falls by the wayside.« Jenny Erpenbeck
