After an unsuccessful suicide attempt, when she comes to, she is in a mental hospital. Moreover, she learns that she has a very short time left to live. Veronika, who already wants to die, begins to discover herself in the process while getting to know people from other worlds…

Paulo Coelho’s novel Veronika Decides to Die, which takes place in Bosnia and Slovenia, a region close to our country, approaches every minute of our existence as a choice between life and death. It tells the story of people who go beyond the usual patterns of society and have to confront prejudices because of their different thoughts.
