'A propulsive, soulful story of mourning and gratitude - and an
intimate portrait of one woman's sojourn in the wilderness between
life and death.' TARA WESTOVER, author of Educated __________ We
all face moments that bring us to our knees: heartbreak, trauma,
illness. When things don't go to plan this is the book to reach for
- an inspirational memoir about what we can learn about life from a
brush with death. At just twenty-two, on the cusp of adult life,
Suleika Jaouad was diagnosed with leukemia and given a 35 per cent
chance of survival. For the next five years, her world comprised
four white walls, a hospital bed, fluorescent lights, tubes and
wires. She became patient 5624. At twenty-seven, and celebrating
her first year of remission, Suleika realized that, having
survived, she now had no idea how to live. And so she set out to
meet some of the many strangers who had written to her about their
experiences of life, death, healing and recovery in response to her
Emmy-Award winning New York Times column, 'Life Interrupted'.
Between Two Kingdoms is the result. Drawing on Suleika's TED Talk,
now with 4 million views, it illuminates universal questions about
how we live, mourn, heal and grow up, and what it means to begin
again. __________ Praise for Between Two Kingdoms: 'A work of
breathtaking creativity and heart-stopping humanity.' ELIZABETH
GILBERT, author of Eat Pray Love 'A beautiful, elegant and
heart-breaking book that provides a glimpse into the kingdom of
illness.' SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
The Emperor of All Maladies '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
