Something Light - An Author Reading

Eva Lohmann is a master of nuance. In her new novel, published on 27 August 2026, she explores a timely theme: the social expectations placed on women's life choices. It's about what comes after separation, about the courage to be free, and about the softest spot between a rabbit's ears.

Leo is proud of her divorce. Now she wants something light. In her search, she encounters various men and an unusual friend. But above all, she encounters herself: does she really want to play the whole game again from the start? And why does it feel so difficult lately to allow herself something light? The only creature she wants to share the sofa with right now is Frederic, a German giant rabbit.

Eva Lohmann, born in 1981, is the voice of a generation caught between traditional expectations and radical authenticity. She has a daughter. She lives and works in Hamburg.
