Heaven without end
presented by the Harbour Front Literature Festival Hamburg
The Harbour Front Literature Festival is looking forward to Julia Engelmann – singer, actress, author and voice of an entire generation.
On September 29, she will celebrate the book premiere of her first novel, “Himmel ohne Ende,” at our St. Pauli Theater.
“One day, baby, we’ll be old – and think of all the stories we could have told.”
This verse made Julia Engelmann famous – and struck a chord with millions of people. With "Heaven Without End," she now presents her first novel: a tender, poetic coming-of-age novel about growing up, missing someone, and the quiet power of friendship and new beginnings. With a keen sense of language and emotion, Julia Engelmann delves deeply into the emotional world of her young heroine – touching readers of all ages.
About the book “Heaven Without End”:
Charlie is fifteen and misses her father, especially since her mother has a new man. And as if that weren't enough, her best friend just kissed the boy Charlie has a crush on. Since then, it seems as if there's a pane of glass between her and the world. And then Pommes, whose real name is Cornelius, comes along, and he turns the pane of glass into a car window that can be rolled down, allowing Charlie to finally stretch her hand up to heaven again.
Release date: July 23, 2025
