RaveThe New York Review of Books... outstanding ... wonderfully well written ... because [Solomon] has the gift of the gab he is seldom boring, wherever you choose to open a page. He has gone the extra mile, too. Though from a comfortable metropolitan background himself, he has talked to Inuit people in Greenland and to trauma survivors in Cambodia, as well as to horrifically deprived depressed patients in poor regions of the United States ... the best yet written on the illness of ingrained sorrow ... raises questions about suffering that have been with us at least since the Book of Job. [The] book can\'t answer them, of course, but it can make the reader think about the puzzles of being human; about whether suffering can be endured, about when courage works and when it fails to.
