Sarah Pinto is Professor of Anthropology at Tufts University and author of Where There Is No Midwife: Birth and Loss in Rural India.

"A poignant, compelling, complex, and provocative example of anthropological storytelling. Based on original and evidently difficult fieldwork focused on the treatment of women's mental illnesses in north India, the book offers a gendered reading of psychiatry. It is also very much an intimate and intensely reflexive ethnography."-Ann Grodzins Gold, Syracuse University "An important book, making interventions in how we think about choreographies of clinical mental health work with families broken and repaired. Its ethnographic specificities have to do with India, but its accounts of medical, familial, and narrative crises are of broad theoretical import."-Michael M. J. Fischer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
