Audiobook, read by the author. Richard E. Grant has a great voice and is endlessly doing voice impressions in this book, perhaps as a tribute to his wife, Joan Washington who was a dialect coach.
In this memoir, it's immediately evident that Grant loved his wife, is incredibly genuine and has an obsession with Barbara Streisand that's a bit eyebrow-raising.
There were some very heartfelt moments and it's overall, a loving tribute, but also features jarring time jumps, disjointed story-telling and what felt like excessive name-dropping.
