“Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of a Life Interrupted” by
Suleika Jaouad
Published by Random House Audio
I enjoyed listening to this memoir read by the
author. First you find out about her
life with symptoms that went undiagnosed, then her time fighting leukemia, and
finally her quest to find out what life would hold after cancer. There were parts I found a little self-centered,
although understandable. But there were
many more parts that I found insightful and thought provoking. Although it deals with sickness and dying
(not the author), I didn’t find it depressing.
I would recommend it.
Side note – I had never heard of this author prior, but
she became well known during her cancer fight for the articles she published in
the NY Times as well a video journal she kept and published. She’s also the wife of Jon Batiste, former
band leader on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Finished 12/13/24 – 3/5 stars
