On March 19th at 6:30 PM, Kätlin Kontor-Kirss will launch her first book, titled "When You Come, Don't Knock," at Apollo Plaza bookstore. This book marks the beginning of a new series that delves into deep themes of personal identity and the struggle to navigate life after significant changes, such as the end of a long-term marriage. During the event, the author will engage in discussion with Kärt Kross-Merilo, providing insights into the narrative and inspirations behind her writing.

The story revolves around Linda, who, unexpectedly on her birthday, decides to end her 25-year marriage, a decision that surfaces from a clash of emotions including self-pity, guilt, and uncertainty. The narrative raises profound questions about existence and self-identity once a shared life is broken. As Linda confronts the reality of being left with only herself, the author invites readers to reflect on the complexities one faces when future aspirations seem tied to others rather than oneself.

Kätlin Kontor-Kirss was born in 1979 in Tartu and grew up in the small town of Elva before achieving higher education in Tallinn, where she continues to live. Her work promises to resonate with many who have faced similar life transitions, shedding light on the emotional landscapes that accompany changes in relationships and personal identity.
