"​​I commend Stonington on this powerful and practically useful study which will have a lasting impact on my practice of bioethics (and I imagine that of many others) in a culturally diverse context. I would highly recommend this book for scholars (such as those in anthropology and religious studies), for those with a general interest in various approaches to dying and caring for the dying, and especially for those who wish to improve cultural safety when planning and delivering healthcare with Thai patients and families in diaspora."

"Stonington’s ethnographic ‘journey’ and gradually growing understanding emerges continually through the narrative of the book, and to this reviewer is one of the book’s most engaging aspects, and perhaps one of its central lessons for an important readership, medical and health practitioners."
