If you look down the board you will see that a group of us read this book last month and have discussed it there. The topic is called U3A Veronika Decides to Die.

We all got something out of it, and there was one comment which led to discussion outside of the book - why do we have so many young people attracted to suicide?

Read our discussion to get a range of views.

It's one of Cohelo's favorites. :) But if you're feeling a little angsty and wouldn't want to tame it down, then delay reading :)
