A novel that transforms pain into language
Mama & Sam tells of an exceptional situation that feels more familiar than it would like: The mother has disappeared, leaving behind questions, a void, and an estate that reveals more than expected. Sarah Kuttner does not develop a loud sensational story from this, but a literarily precise exploration of grief, familial tension, and unwanted closeness. The publisher describes the book as a very personal narrative about guilt and the intimacy of inheritance. ([fischerverlage.de](https://www.fischerverlage.de/autor/sarah-kuttner-1005141))
