Veronika Decides to Die

We have chosen 'Veronika Decides to Die' by Paulo Coelho for our March read...

'Veronika Decides to Die' by Paulo Coelho tells the story of a young woman named Veronika who, despite having a seemingly perfect life, decides to end it all. After a failed suicide attempt, she wakes up in a mental institution, where she is told that her attempt has left her with only days to live due to heart damage. During her stay, she meets other patients and begins to explore the deeper meanings of life, death, and personal freedom. As Veronika forms relationships and confronts her fears, she discovers that the line between sanity and madness is not as clear as she once believed, and her perceptions of life are forever changed. The novel explores themes of conformity, the search for meaning, and the inner struggles that shape our choices and perceptions.
