Alan Rickman was a world-class actor, as well as a tireless political activist, an avid traveller and a devoted confidant and friend - and now, through his never-before-seen diaries, Rickman invites readers backstage and into his life. Detailing the extraordinary and the ordinary, he writes in a way that is anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid. A Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller.
