"Veronika Decides to Die" tells the story of a young woman's transformation from despairing would-be suicide to affirmed and then affirming survivor. This book offers an archetypal story of hope, portraying a situation in which joy, freedom, integrity and truth all remain possible under the most challenging and limiting of circumstances. In doing so, the narrative thematically explores the nature of insanity, the importance of living a genuine life, and the threats to individual identity imposed by closed communities and the rules under which they function.
