In this volume, the author traces conceptions of pain throughout the ages to reveal the elusive, mysterious nature of pain itself. Interweaving first-person reflections on her own battle with chronic pain, Thernstrom shows that when dealing with pain we are neither as advanced as we imagine nor as helpless as we may fear.
