À propos de cet audio
Academy Award–nominated actor Richard E. Grant’s “genuine and compelling” (The New York Times), “moving and entertaining” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) memoir about finding happiness in even the darkest of days.
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 a 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 honor of that challenge—Richard has faithfully kept a diary since childhood, and in these entries, he shares raw details of 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 and I to his thrilling Oscar Award nomination thirty years later for Can You Ever Forgive Me?.
In “one of the bravest, strongest, funniest memoirs I’ve ever read” (Bonnie Garmus, New York Times bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry), A Pocketful of Happiness is a powerful, funny, and moving celebration of life’s unexpected joys.

What love can do
The always smiling and sweet face of Richard E. Grant plus the title of this book made me purchase “A Pocketful of Happiness”. I had no idea what a rip-my-heart-to-pieces experience I was in for. Every day I heard Richard talking about the absolute and perfect love of his darling, talented wife Joan and how it would end in illness. I have to admit, it was hard to be a silent witness to his unbearable agony and I wished that I could have helped in some way, as most of their friends also must have felt. At one point I felt so depressed, I thought I could not continue, but persisted. Now feel privileged to peek in the door of their beautiful and love-filled life and be happy that 2 people on this earth found their perfect partners and experienced that depth of love. So generous of Richard to share that and allow us a glimpse. Luckily he still has his darling daughter, and trunks-full of wonderful memories . He’s a great writer, and expressed himself so beautifully. Clutch your heart and read this book.
