About this listen

Shortlisted for Best Narrator at the Audio Production Awards 2022
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
This audiobook includes an exclusive bonus track with Minnie Driver and Emma Forrest in conversation.

Me because I lost
My mother in 2019 and it was very similar to everything I felt - and as well the reference to how birth and death are aligned snd very close . Something most people seem to dismiss but for me I understood death as my children were born . I found it funny touching snd honest . I am stunned that her father sent her off alone to England at 11 she writes about it so vividly . A powerful Read
Her mother’s death
