NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A deeply moving memoir of illness, survival, and the journey to rediscover life.
At twenty-two, Suleika Jaouad had big dreams—living in Paris, falling in love, and launching a career as a war correspondent. But an unexpected itch turned into unrelenting exhaustion, leading to a devastating leukemia diagnosis and a 35% chance of survival.
For the next four years, Jaouad fought for her life from a hospital bed, chronicling her journey in The New York Times. But when the doctors declared her “cured,” she faced a new challenge: how to live again.
Embarking on a 100-day, 15,000-mile road trip, Jaouad met fellow survivors navigating their own uncertain futures. In Between Two Kingdoms, she delivers a raw, inspiring reflection on illness, healing, and the spaces between survival and truly living.
One of the best books of the year—The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg.
