Lesung mit Franziska Jebens

Reading with Franziska Jebens at the HAPPY Diversity Bookstore

When life starts to feel unstable, sometimes all it takes is one courageous step into the unknown to rediscover yourself.

On August 6, author Franziska Jebens will be a guest at the HAPPY Diversity Bookstore in Frankfurt to present her new novel, *Über der Brandung*. In her moving story, she takes a disillusioned author on a journey to the end of the world—to a wild island in the Aegean Sea, where she learns to let go of old certainties and embrace new perspectives. A novel about new beginnings, freedom, self-discovery, and the power to follow one’s heart, published by S. Fischer Verlage. 

Look forward to an inspiring summer evening full of wanderlust, depth, and literary encounters. Franziska Jebens will read from her latest novel, discuss its creation, and offer personal insights into her work as an author. Afterward, there will be time for questions, conversation, and book signings.

The reading will take place in the cozy atmosphere of the HAPPY Diversity bookstore in Frankfurt’s Nordend neighborhood—a place for encounters, exchange, and extraordinary stories.
