Along the way Syal writes about growing up in the rural Midlands, her journey to motherhood, the shifting attitudes towards women over her lifetime, and a career that has spanned writing, stage, television and film (including why Victoria Wood turned her down for a part in \u003cem\u003eDinnerladies\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving from the serious to the ridiculous, it is touching, compelling and very, very funny: the stories that shaped one of Britain's best-loved comedy legends, told with her trademark warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Sharp, unbeatable, timeless wit' — Jameela Jamil\u003cbr\u003e'Read it.
