Overview
The shockingly funny story of three Indian women living in London, from the award-winning author of Anita and Me, beautifully repackaged for its twenty-fifth anniversary
“Meera Syal’s smart, sprightly second novel . . . is gossipy, funny and thoroughly entertaining.” — The New York Times Book Review
At home, Meera Syal’s women walk in small steps, talk in sweet tones, pour dainty cupfuls, and refill plates in the shake of a dupatta; but at work, they kick ass across courtrooms and computer screens.
In a “compassionate, resonant tale of culture clash” (Publishers Weekly) filled with her trademark wit and sensitivity, Syal has created an indelible portrait of a close-knit group of Indian women living in London. Life Isn’t All Ha Ha Hee Hee is the story of Chila, a nice Punjabi girl married to the urbane Deepak, and her two childhood confidants: Sunita, the former activist law student, now an overweight, depressed housewife and mother; and the chic, beautiful Tania, who has rejected marriage in favor of a high-powered career in television and life in a trendy apartment with her English boyfriend.
This “superbly crafted page-turning comedy” (The Mirror) from the award-winning author of Anita and Me describes what happens when one of these women makes a documentary, starring the other two, about contemporary urban Indian life.
