Sunshine Clinic

A Novel with Recipes

Sunshine Clinic is a stand-alone conclusion to the heart-warming family saga that began with My Mother's Kitchen and Seeing Ceremony.

Sunny Unnikrishnan grew up in Mahagiri under the long shadow of her older sister Meena and her strong-willed mother (Little Mother). Now, she is ready to become her own person. The newly qualified doctor finds a job as a village doctor, and she will have to overcome age-old practices and superstitions to win over the villagers.

Each day is a new adventure for Dr. Sunny, who finds support and friendship in unexpected places. The nuns at the regional Carmelite mission and a woman reputed to be a witch befriend the young doctor. Dr. Sunny's life becomes complicated when she meets handsome Scotsman Callum MacPherson. Their tentative courtship is threatened when Callum's ex-girlfriend, Ella, comes for a surprise visit. Callum will need the help of the entire community to win back Sunny.

"In Sunshine Clinic, we are inspired by the universality of experience in Meera Klein's writing, as aromas of food and exotic landscapes nurture those who inhabit the world of Mahagiri, a fertile place of hope and renewal, the very qualities that define this wondrous book."-James Ragan author of The Hunger Wall and Too Long a Solitude.
