<p><strong>“A highly original, moving, and ultimately life-affirming book.” – <em>Sunday Mirror </em>(London)</strong></p><p>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 to never wake up. But she does—at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.</p><p>Inspired by events in Coelho’s own life, <em>Veronika Decides to Die</em> 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.</p>
