As well as starring in the programme, Meera Syal wrote the novel which Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee is adapted. Both heart-warming and heartbreaking, it's inspired by the juxtaposition of two news stories running in the same newspaper, on the same day: One headlined 'Asian Women Top the Graduate League' and on the opposite page 'Asian Women Top the Suicide and Self Harm League'.Meera admits: "It disturbed me profoundly to see evidence of how much we can achieve, laced with our ability to destroy ourselves. It made me want to look at my life and the lives of my friends, all of whom were going through seismic changes in our belief systems and relationships." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Life Isn't All Ha Ha Hee Hee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
