![]() On her fifth day, her supposed last day, Veronika finds out she is still alive. And with their enlightenment, Veronika lives and explores her life to the fullest over the next days. They are people who are deemed ‘mad’ by the normal society. She meets 3 people inside the institution, Zedka, Mari and Eduard. She was told that although she wasn’t successful enough to have totally taken her life, she has damaged her cardiovascular system so much that she only has 5 days to live.Īnd on the next days, Veronika suddenly gets the urge to live and survive. She fails to kill herself and wakes up at a famous mental institution. Veronika, a young girl from Slovenia one day decides to die-that is to commit suicide by overdosing on pills. I am not very impressed by novels like this (“life enhancing” fiction) but this one relays a really great message and life lesson. Just reading the first few pages and I loved the book already. ![]() Veronika Decides to Die is simply beautiful! I wish I read it sooner, so I can justify my craziness. ![]() Another lesson learned for me, don’t judge a book by its author (does this make sense?) ![]() I didn’t like both, so I had more reason not to read Veronika. Time passed and I was able to read The Alchemist and By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept. Harper Perennial (May 8, 2001), 224 pagesĪ friend recommended this long long ago but just because I thought the title and the cover were too depressing, I decided to hold reading it. ![]()
