(the despairing cry of Meera's mother and aunties) to 'an Asian comedy show? Are Asians funny?' (the depressing response to the idea that would become \u003ci\u003eGoodness Gracious Me\u003c\/i\u003e), each chapter reveals a different turning point in Meera's journey - from the serious to the ridiculous. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith her trademark warmth and humour, she shares stories from her grandfather's attempts to arrange her marriage, to her working life as an actress and writer, to her journey to motherhood and the changing attitudes towards women she has experienced over her career. Syal also delves into her parents' past, revealing lives deeply affected by the partition of India in 1947 and how that legacy has affected so many of her generation. Touching, compelling and very, very funny, this book shows us the stories that have shaped the life of one of Britain's best-loved comedy legends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syal, Meera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56692296155522,"sku":"9781399619455-1","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/6575\/5522\/files\/9781399619455.jpg?v=1780658316","url":"https:\/\/archwaybookshop.co.uk\/products\/vigilauntie-signed-hardback-pre-order-meera-syal","provider":"Archway Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
