Between video rental, summer, and self-assertion

Little Hollywood revolves around Leonie, called Leo, who does not leap into freedom after school, but instead finds herself in a present full of family friction, missed opportunities, and cinematic escape fantasies. The novel combines coming-of-age, emotional precision, and a clear, rhythmic style into a narrative about courage, vulnerability, and the desire to seize life despite all breaks. The publisher describes the book as a summer story full of freedom between fear, courage, and new beginnings.

The author and her literary tone

Inga Hanka, born in 1988, worked as a copywriter and photographer for radio, print, and online media before combining creative writing techniques with coaching methods, according to the publisher. This biographical versatility shapes the impression of a text that combines observational sharpness with narrative directness. Little Hollywood is published as a debut novel by HarperCollins for the price of 24.00 Euros; awards are not mentioned on the author page.
