520    "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 detail 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?"--|cProvided by publisher.
