NOW STARRING IN BBC1'S CELEBRITY TRAITORS'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 ChemistryAn intimate and uplifting memoir by Richard E. Grant. �Born in Swaziland in 1957, Richard E. Grant moved to the UK to pursue his acting career, and has been a fixture on our screens since his breakout role in Withnail and I in 1987. When his beloved wife Joan died in 2021 after almost forty years together, she set him a challenge: to find a pocketful of happiness in every day. �The result is this book. Set between the present day and flashbacks to delightfully indiscreet diary entries recalling landmarks from his remarkable life and�glittering career, this is an immensely personal and profound memoir that celebrates and cherishes life's unexpected joys. �Funny, moving and perceptive, A Pocketful of Happiness is an insight into the life of a much loved British actor.
