Set in a coastal town in tropical South India THE GOOD KARMA HOSPITAL tells the story of junior doctor Ruby Walker who arrives in India looking for a job and a distraction from her heartbreak. She anticipates the sunshine the palm trees and picture-perfect beaches. She's even prepared for the sacred cows the tuk-tuks and the Delhi-belly that everyone warned her about. What she doesn't expect are the realities of work life and even love at an under-resourced and over-worked cottage hospital.
