Sasa Hanten Presents "Talent zum Glück"

What do you do when the world lies at your feet - yet happiness still eludes you? This is the question Sasa Hanten explores in her new novel "Talent zum Glück".

Charlotte Maybach and Eby Tusch have known each other since childhood - they grew up together in a boarding school on Lake Constance. In her early thirties, Charlotte works as a notary and leads a functioning, respected life that doesn't fulfill her. Eby, the last heir of a Cologne-Vienna carnival family, cared for his father through dementia, took over the family business, and lost his great love, Georg. When they meet again, it's not about missed opportunities but about open questions: how do you want to live once you've discovered who you really are? "Talent zum Glück" is a novel about lifelong friendship and how to accept the unchangeable with wit and dignity.

Sasa Hanten is an author, model, court expert on contemporary art, and trained lawyer. She directs the studio of sculptor Angela Glajcar and has published her catalogue raisonné. In 2023, her book "Play with Me" appeared - a literary guide to a happy life with artistic elements. She lives and works in Cologne and Vienna.
