Victoria Coren Mitchell's gripping poker memoir now available for the first time in audio.

In September 2006, Victoria Coren Mitchell won a million dollars on the European Poker Tour. For Richer, for Poorer tells the story of that victory, but also of a 20-year obsession with the game. It is a journey which has taken Victoria from a secret culture of illegal cash games to the high-stakes glamour of Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, and brought with it friendship, laughter, and money, but also loneliness, heartbreak and defeat. With disarming honesty, Victoria lays all of this bare. For Richer, for Poorer also tells the story of the poker revolution. How did this cult card game, populated by a small community of colourful and eccentric players, move from the back streets to the mainstream in a few short years? It is a fascinating story from a trusted insider.

For Richer, for Poorer was published in 2009. This audiobook was recorded in 2023.

Kritikerstimmen

“Fresh, funny and moving. This is a wonderful book, worthy of comparison with the best.” (Literary Review)

“So rich in detail, so full of laughter, that you feel as if the coolest member of your family has just let you in on a secret so delicious you will savour it for ever." (The Times)

“If you’re interested in poker, you will adore this memoir. If you’re not interested in poker, you will adore it anyway.” (Spectator)

“For Richer, For Poorer” is the most special book I have come across in years. An absolute gem! The story is entrancing. You will find yourself floating dreamily along the river… Made of tears of laughter and sadness. As fantasy and reality become blurred in the game, you will not only learn about poker (there is a glossary at the end), but about the Game of Life. Balancing between angelic and devilish, the story and the amazing narration by Victoria Coren-Mitchell will make you feel like you are falling ever more in love… Or down a rabbit hole.

Brilliant!
