Veronika has everything—beauty, youth, a steady life—but none of it feels worth waking up for.
When she takes a handful of sleeping pills, she expects to die. Instead, she wakes up in a mental hospital… with the news that she has only days left to live.
In those final days, Veronika begins to question everything: What does it mean to be “sane”? What parts of her were truly broken—and which were simply misunderstood? As she navigates her diagnosis and the stories of those around her, she finds something she never expected: a reason to keep going.
Drawing from his own experiences, Paulo Coelho crafts a powerful and compassionate tale of transformation, radical self-acceptance, and the liberation found in embracing life’s imperfections.
