Will resonate with anyone who is living a different life than the one they had planned.
Will resonate with anyone who is living a different life than the one they had planned.
No more doomscrolling. Read this book instead... Full of wisdom and resilience.
A deeply touching account of learning to live in the now, because nothing else is promised. I loved it.
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.
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.
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.
Her sensory snapshots remain in my mind long after reading.
One of 2021's most highly anticipated new books.
Changing the conversation about what it mans to thrive in the wake of illness and life's unexpected interruptions.
Suleika Jaouad is an Emmy Award-winning writer, speaker, cancer survivor and activist. She served on Barack Obama's Cancer Panel and her advocacy work, reporting and speaking has been featured at the United Nations, on Capitol Hill and on the TED Talk main stage. When she's not on the road with her 2972 Volkswagen campervan and her rescue dog Oscar, she lives in Brooklyn.
