Veronika Decides to Die

The book has been translated by All Prints Distributors

Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything—youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job.

But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, she takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up.

But she does—at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.

Inspired by events in Coelho’s own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal.

Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

After a frantic suicide attempt, Veronika awakens inside a mysterious mental asylum.
Under the supervision of an unorthodox psychiatrist who specializes in controversial treatment, Veronika learns that she has only weeks to live.
Veronika is a beautiful young woman from Ljubljana, Slovenia who appears to have the perfect life, but nevertheless decides to die (commit suicide) by overdosing with sleeping pills.
While she waits to die, she cancels the suicide letter she starts to her parents while suddenly provoked by a magazine article.
