'A gorgeously candid account of acting and show business. And an
intimate and heartfelt story of love, loss and a life spent
together. It is an honour to be invited in on these diaries. I
cannot remember being so moved by a book' Dolly Alderton
'Fascinating, funny and heart wrenching'Â Dame Julie Walters
'An emotional rollercoaster - profoundly moving and wonderfully
entertaining. A brilliant memoir about living, loving and losing'
Bernardine Evaristo Richard E. Grant emigrated from Swaziland to
London in 1982, with dreams of making it as an actor, when he
unexpectedly met and fell in love with renowned dialect coach Joan
Washington. Their relationship and marriage, navigating the highs
and lows of Hollywood, parenthood and loss, lasted almost forty
years. When Joan died in 2021, her final challenge to him was to
find ‘a pocketful of happiness in every day’. This honest and
frequently hilarious memoir is written in honour of that challenge
–  Richard has faithfully kept a diary since childhood, and
in these entries he shares in raw detail everything he has
experienced : both the pain of losing his beloved wife, and the
excitement of their life together, from the role that transformed
his life overnight in Withnail & I to his thrilling Oscar
nomination thirty years later for Can You Ever Forgive Me?Â
Told with candour in Richard’s utterly unique style, A Pocketful
of Happiness is a powerful, funny and moving celebration of
life’s unexpected joys.
