In a book somewhere between \u003ci\u003eWaiting to Exhale\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBridget Jones's Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, Syal has created an indelible portrait of a close-knit group of Indian women living in London. \u003ci\u003eLife Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eAnita and Me\u003c\/i\u003e describes what happens when one of them makes a documentary, starring the other two, about contemporary urban Indian life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeera Syal, a British-born Indian, is a writer and actress who is a familiar face on British TV.
