A beautiful book: funny, honest, revealing, heartfelt and moving
- Adam Kay, bestselling author of This is Going to Hurt
Vital, heartfelt and surprising, these tales from a life are told with humor, style and intelligence.
- Graham Norton
A wonderful memoir by a glorious writer: funny, poignant, profound.
I gobbled it up in one joyous sitting.
- Elizabeth Day
An absolute jewel of a book. Gloriously readable, hilarious, painful, acute, sharply recalled and vividly brought to life
- Stephen Fry
A dazzling tell-most memoir: poignant and laugh-out-loud funny scenes from the life of actor Minnie Driver.
I love stories. I have mostly told other people's, but now, in telling my own, I realize how all our stories are connected by that great leveller of acclaim, loss, fortitude, and fortune: being human.
When I look at my life from the alleged halfway point, some patterns are revealed: one, that the story does not necessarily begin or end where it should; two, happy endings are overrated. And three, happy endings are almost never the end.
This book is memoir-ish. A tell-most. Largely because there's a lot I don't remember, and a lot that's not worth talking about.
So, this is a collection of stories about how things not working out - worked out in the end. How reaching for the dream is easily more interesting, expansive, sad and funny than the dream itself coming true.
I really hope you enjoy it. Love, Minnie x
