This is what it's all about:

Warm-hearted, poetic and clever, bestselling author Carsten Henn tells of the secret of a good life, the power of memory and the gift of friendship in 'Sunrise No. 5'. Do we really live twice? First in reality and then in memory? 19-year-old Jonas has problems with both: life and memory. He has just dropped out of his German studies and avoids confronting his painful past. Instead, he wants to help others record their life stories as a ghostwriter. His first client is the eccentric old film diva Stella, who wants to portray her life as happy and fulfilled in her autobiography. As if she had only made the right decisions. Together they learn that you have to live every day as if it were your last. To lead a life that is unforgettable. As in his successful novel 'Der Buchspazierer', which was loved by readers and celebrated by the press - and successfully filmed with Christoph Maria Herbst in the title role - Carsten Henn's 'Sonnenaufgang Nr. 5' is a novel for the soul, touching and unforgettable - and the ideal book for all book lovers.
