Intense and gritty at times, sparkling and hilarious at others. I found it absorbing, witty, joyous and moving…and that’s all I really want from a book! * JO BRAND *Wise, witty and warm - a deliciously exotic feast of a book, spiced with the two best ingredients, love and laughter * KATHY LETTE *Through her novels, screenwriting and acting Meera Syal has not only changed the way Britain sees British Asians, but how British Asians see and talk about themselves.
