Will resonate with anyone who is living a different life than the
one they had planned.
*TARA WESTOVER, author of EDUCATED*
No more doomscrolling. Read this book instead... Full of wisdom and
resilience.
*ADAM GRANT, author of ORIGINALS*
A deeply touching account of learning to live in the now, because
nothing else is promised. I loved it.
*KATHRYN MANNIX, author of WITH THE END IN MIND*
Suleika Jaouad's memoir is a work of breathtaking creativity and
heart-stopping humanity. A story of her cancer journey on the
surface, it goes beyond the clichés of "inspiration", "resilience"
and "courage" into the depth of her own pain and lost years, and
also the spirits of countless strangers (sick and well) whom she
meets along the highway of life and illuminates with rare
generosity and grace. A deeply moving and passionate work of art,
it's quite unlike anything I've ever read, and will forever be
imprinted upon my heart.
*ELIZABETH GILBERT, author of EAT PRAY LOVE*
Jaouad is writing about a process, a back and forth. In the tension
between health and sickness, past and present, a new balance must
be forged.
*LA Times*
A beautiful, elegant and heart-breaking book that provides a
glimpse into the kingdom of illness.
*SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE*
Yes, 'Between Two Kingdoms' is a cancer memoir. It's a coming of
age story. A road trip adventure. A survival story. It's also a
love story, but it is not romantic love that saves Jaouad. No, it's
bigger than that.... The timing of this memoir is just right. After
nearly a year of living through a pandemic, we all understand
isolation and grief, endurance and healing more than we did
before.
*Washington Post*
Her sensory snapshots remain in my mind long after reading.
*Chanel Miller, New York Times*
One of 2021's most highly anticipated new books.
*Newsweek*
Changing the conversation about what it mans to thrive in the wake
of illness and life's unexpected interruptions.
