USA TODAY Book Club: Join Richard E. Grant to discuss memoir 'A Pocketful of Happiness'
View Date:2025-01-13 03:55:31
Wednesday is our favorite day of the month: Book club day!
August’s book pick is actor Richard E. Grant’s memoir "A Pocketful of Happiness" (Simon & Schuster, out now).
The Oscar-nominated British actor (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) writes tenderly about his marriage to Joan Washington, who died in September 2021 after being diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. He describes their relationship as a 38-year-long conversation, one that he continues even now that she’s gone through shared letters and diary entries that seek to honor her dying edict: that Grant try to find a pocketful of happiness in every single day.
We hope you can join us on Youtube as Grant and USA TODAY’s David Oliver discuss this stirring portrait of friendship, love and grief. Here's the link:
