"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.
