Meera Syal reads Monica Ali’s first new novel for a decade, a bighearted and hilarious story of two very different families brought together by marriage.

Yasmin Ghorami has a brilliant career in medicine, and is engaged to a charming junior doctor. But as their wedding approaches, and the two families are thrown together, they all find themselves confronting long-held and dark secrets.

Today: Yasmin barely recognises her mother after her move to Harriet's house - not only new ideas, a new business but also a new 'special friend'...
