Happy People Read and Drink Coffee!


Everyone was familiar with Café Zuckerzeit in the romantic castle district of Nuremberg – its wickedly delicious cakes and its warm-hearted owner, Marianne. For Lucy, the thought is unbearable that her boyfriend Sascha, who is advising the owner’s widower, wants to sell off the traditional café to a property shark. Overnight, she turns her entire life upside down and buys the Zuckerzeit – without having the slightest clue about baking or business management... It is a stroke of luck that waitress Clara appears at her door at just the right time, and soon old and new regulars are breathing life back into the café. But what is the story behind the charismatic Ben, who simply makes off with books from the shelf? Just one of many new challenges...

Ella Lindberg

Ella Lindberg attended acting school for two years and studied to be a German teacher before dedicating herself to literature. Under the name Mara Winter, she has published some easy-reading novels in smaller publishing houses. Although she now has two children, she spends more time daydreaming than she cares to admit and occasionally forgets mundane things, such as parents evenings or vacuuming. Instead, she has a lot of books, coffee and also an understanding for human shortcomings. She lives with her family in Nuremberg and spends a lot of time in bookshops and the library, and very little time in the gym.
