“When the life we had is snatched away, how do we find the conviction to live another? Between Two Kingdoms will resonate with anyone who is living a different life than they planned to live. This is a propulsive, soulful story of mourning and gratitude—and an intimate portrait of one woman’s sojourn in the wilderness between life and death.”

“A masterpiece that upends the expected structure of memoirs about illness to show us what happens after the body recovers, the courage and creativity necessary to forge a transformed selfhood. Suleika Jaouad’s sentences are as urgent and beautiful as the story they comprise. Between Two Kingdoms is a stunning debut by a powerful new voice and required reading for every kind of survivor.”
