    The Book: 

    • A Pocketful of Happiness by Richard E. Grant
    Born out of his late wife's entreaty to Grant to find a pocketful of happiness in each day, this tender, moving and frequently hilarious memoir tracks back and forth through the actor's stellar career, entwining juicy showbiz gossip with uplifting reflections on hope and everyday joy.

     

    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.

    Reviews

    'A gorgeously candid account of acting and showbusiness. And an intimate and heartfelt story of love, loss and a life spent together. I cannot remember being so moved by a book.'

    Dolly Alderton

    'An emotional rollercoaster - profoundly moving and wonderfully entertaining. A brilliant memoir about living, loving and losing.'

    Bernardine Evaristo

    'A deeply moving memoir from one of our greatest actors'

    David Walliams

    'Fascinating, funny and heart wrenching. Ultimately uplifting because it's a beautiful and honest celebration of a deep, deep love'
