After a life-changing experience, Hanna moves back from Berlin to her hometown of Lüneburg on the spur of the moment—to her parents’ house, into her old childhood bedroom, which is now her father’s office, complete with a printer, electric blinds, and a 90-cm guest bed.

Lena Kupke: Pause
But how is that supposed to work: family life going from zero to a hundred with three adults who have always preferred to sweep conflicts under the rug rather than resolve them?
Amid old and fresh wounds, Hanna must learn to heal herself and see her family in a new light. And she discovers that love finds you even in the most helpless moments.
A warm-hearted, tenderly humorous, and honest book about moments of despair and the long journey toward coming to terms with life’s setbacks.
Lena Kupke, born in 1986, studied English and History in Bonn. She is an author and stand-up comedian. In 2021, her non-fiction book *Truth or Dare: What I’ve Learned About Being a Woman‹ was published in 2021. ›Pause‹ is her debut novel.
