Includes Author Dedication; Prologue; Epilogue; Tributes to Joan Washington; and Acknowledgments. "Grant's profoundly moving book, part love letter to his beloved wife, part gossipy memoir about his life and times, will resonate with anyone who ever lost a loved one." - Daily Express. "Richard E. Grant emigrated from Swaziland to London in 1982, with dreams of making it as an actor. Unexpectedly, he met and fell in love with renowned dialect coach Joan Washington. Their relationship and marriage, navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood and parenthood, lasted almost forty years. When Joan died in 2021, her final challenge to him was to find a "pocketful of happiness in ever day." Richard wrote this honest and frequently hilarious memoir in honor of that challenge - he 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 career overnight in Withnail and I to his thrilling Academy Award nomination thirty years late for Can You Ever Forgive Me? Told with candor in Richard's utterly unique style, A Pockefful of Happiness is a powerful, funny, and moving celebration of life's unexpected joys." - from the inner front jacket flap. "This heartbreaking memoir recalls a long, happy marriage - and leaves us shattered for his loss." - The Spectator. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008081
