After her father left the family, Jule grew up with her brother and her suicidal mother. As an adult, she has created a daily routine in which she merely endures everything: her job as a singer, the countless calls from her mother, and the overwhelming hatred within her that almost makes her disappear. When her relationship also begins to crumble, she flees to her brother in England, seeking peace and anonymity. However, there she encounters her father, who is dying. Hesitantly, Jule begins one last attempt to connect with the man she has felt abandoned by her entire life. In her new novel, Sarah Kuttner candidly and touchingly, yet humorously, reflects on the contradictions of life that we must endure in our time.
