Description

A soulful story of mourning and gratitude, Suleika Jaouad's memoir is an intimate portrait of one woman's journey between life and death. Diagnosed with leukemia at just twenty-two, she was given a 35 per cent chance of survival, but it was during her five-year hospital stay that she began to question how to live after surviving. As she navigated the complexities of illness, healing, and recovery, Suleika turned to the many strangers who had written to her about their experiences in response to her column 'Life Interrupted'. This book is the result of those conversations, illuminating universal questions about how we live, mourn, heal, and grow up. With a unique blend of creativity and humanity, Between Two Kingdoms offers a glimpse into the kingdom of illness and the power of resilience.
