I Think We've Been Here Before

I Think We've Been Here Before by Suzy Krause is a quirky and heartwarming novel that blends existentialism, science fiction, and human connection. The story follows Marlen and Hilda, who receive two life-altering pieces of news in the same week: Marlen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and a cosmic blast is predicted to wipe out humanity within months.

As their family prepares for what could be their last Christmas, they navigate grief, denial, and hope, while experiencing strange moments of déjà vu—as if they’ve lived through this before. Meanwhile, Hilda’s daughter struggles to find her way home from Berlin, aided by an oddly familiar stranger.
