In her debut novel Wenn wir lächeln, Mascha Unterlehberg paints a captivating and powerful portrait of a tender friendship that has to stand its ground against external pressure and the constant threat of violence - until it is time to fight back.
"Mascha Unterlehberg writes hard and soft, clear and shimmering. This novel quickens the pulse and leaves you breathless." Ruth-Maria Thomas
Mascha Unterlehberg, born in Mülheim an der Ruhr, studied literature and art history in Freiburg and Paris as well as at the German Literature Institute in Leipzig. She has worked in theaters in Germany and Switzerland, was a finalist in the 27th open mike and took part in the literature course in Klagenfurt in 2023 with 'Wenn wir lächeln'.
