Summary

A memoir in essays from beloved actor and natural-born storyteller Minnie Driver, chronicling the way life works out even when it doesn't"In [this book], Minnie Driver's intimate, hilarious, and moving memoir-in-essays, the celebrated actor and captivating storyteller reflects on a surprising and remarkable life. Driver writes with disarming charm and candor about her upbringing between England and Barbados; her post-university travails and triumphs; shooting to fame in one of the most influential films of the 1990s and being nominated for an Academy Award; and finding the true light of her life, her son. Effortlessly charming, deeply funny, personal, and honest, Managing Expectations reminds us of the way life works out -- even when it doesn't." -- Back cover
