Perfect for you if...

You loved Alan Rickman's performances and want to understand the man behind Severus Snape and Hans Gruber, written in his own voice.
You enjoy intimate celebrity memoirs that feel like eavesdropping on a brilliant friend's private thoughts, not polished PR.
You appreciate theatre, film craft, and the working lives of serious actors who saw their roles as challenges to solve.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a conventional biography with analysis and outside perspective. these are raw diaries, not third-person storytelling.
You want dramatic behind-the-scenes scandal. Rickman's entries are thoughtful and restrained, not tabloid-fodder.
You haven't seen his films or stage work and need context. The diaries assume you know his career.

About this book

Madly, Deeply presents the diaries of Alan Rickman, spanning from 1993 to his death in 2016. The collection offers insight into the actor's life both on and off screen, covering his roles in films including Die Hard, the Harry Potter series, Galaxy Quest, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, as well as theatrical work in productions like Sense and Sensibility and Noël Coward's Private Lives. Rickman also directed A Little Chaos, his final film. The diaries move between accounts of his professional work and personal life, including travels with friends and time at home. Rickman's entries are candid and range from worldly observations to witty and gossipy reflections. The book includes a photo insert, a foreword by Emma Thompson, and an afterword by Rima Horton.
