Meera Syal (2015 Event)
Acclaimed actor, screenwriter and author of Life Isn’t All Ha Ha Hee Hee, Meera Syal returned to Edinburgh for the first time since 2000 to discuss her new novel. The House of Hidden Mothers moves between East London’s Little India and a village in rural India in a devastatingly moving story that shows the lengths some women will go to when they want to have a child. Chaired by Lee Randall, this event was recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
