Veronika Decides to Die

This is the story of Veronika's (re-)discovery of life, of living life fully, and of her ultimate rejection of death. In the final analysis, Dr Igor's cure for Veronika's malaise is awareness of death. Living as if we are immortal can spell death-in-life. Walking hand-in-hand with death, says Coelho, we become more alive to the business of living and living well.
