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 book somewhere between "Waiting to Exhale"
and "Bridget Jones's Diary," 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 hilariously scathing, no-holds-barred novel from
the award-winning author of "Anita and Me" describes what happens
when one of them makes a documentary, starring the other two, about
contemporary urban Indian life.
