'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' Dame Julie Walters 'An
emotional rollercoaster - profoundly moving and wonderfully
entertaining. A brilliant memoir about living, loving and losing'
Bernardine Evaristo 'One of the bravest, strongest, funniest
memoirs I've ever read' Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of
Lessons in Chemistry 'A deeply moving memoir from one of our
greatest actors' David Walliams 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? 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.
