by Paulo Coelho
I really liked that book.
Veronika, a young woman living in Ljublijana, decides to die. Literally. She wants to kill herself with sleeping pills because she thinks her life is not worth living. She's stuck in her daily routine and does the same every day.
She wakes up in an asylum. They tell her, that she has been ther for a week already and that when she attempted to kill herself she damaged her heart badly and that she will die within the week. Veronika thinks she succeeded after all, while she doesn't like the waiting for death.
But when she starts interacting with the other patients and rediscovers her love for the piano, her will to live slowly starts to return. Is it too late?
