| book description |

The hilarious ups and downs of five 30-something Asian women living in South West London in the 1990s. Meet Tula, Vinny, Jabeen, Sonal and Samina - best friends and members of the 'Girlie’ club. Listen to this joyous exploration of friendship, family, work and womanhood in the British Asian community in the 90s. In their regular gatherings for ‘Girlie’ evenings the friends drink, laugh, blow off steam and commiserate. Nothing is sacred: friendships are tested, marriages analysed, and secrets exposed. Tula is dating, new mum Vinny is struggling, lawyer Jabeen has to walk a tricky professional and personal line and Samina and Sonal are both hiding a secret that threatens the Girlies’ strong bonds. Can these five feisty women forgive and forget in the name of friendship? Series co-creators Shaheen Khan and Sudha Bhuchar have enjoyed great success as playwrights, both individually and together, in their writing for radio, stage and screen. As an actor Khan is best known for her role as Mrs Bhamra in Bend It Like Beckham and for a recurring role on Casualty. Bhuchar starred in the role of solicitor Usha Gupta in BBC Radio 4's The Archers, and has appeared on screen in EastEnders and Coronation Street.
