Reviews

‘A brilliant memoir … What an exceptionally tender book’ Antonia Quirk, Sunday Times ‘Just what we wanted from the Annie Hall star, an autobiography as quirky, funny and mannered as her best-known roles’ Nigel Andrews, Financial Times, Books of the Year ‘Her rambling, endearing book is not short of glamorous names, nor does it scorn ambition and fame. But she shares the stage with her family and most particularly with her mother, Dorothy Hall, as co-star’ Philip French, Observer ‘Fans will relish her accounts of relationships with Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty … The anecdotes are excellent, and the self-modesty not false’ Mark Sanderson, Sunday Telegraph, Books of the Year ‘Beautifully written’ Women’s Own ‘A very generous, charming, old-fashioned and strangely self-effacing account of a life lived in the spotlight’ Sarah Vine, The Times ‘Then Again, which is about Keaton’s relationship with her collage-making mother, Dorothy Hall, is itself a collage. Extracts from Dorothy’s striking letters and journals are arranged in a pattern alongside Keaton’s own reflections on her mother’s life … Keaton dismantles the idea of the perfect American family to then build it up again’ Francis Wilson, Telegraph

This audio production of Keaton's memoir delivers something you won't get in the print edition: Diane Keaton herself. As a narrator, Keaton's personality, talent, and vulnerability shine through-whether she is describing heartbreak (take that, Al Pacino), revealing a never-before-disclosed struggle with an eating disorder, or acting goofy and showcasing her famously funny side. Keaton's delivery is conversational throughout, and listeners will feel as if they're sitting around the kitchen table swapping stories with the Hollywood legend. Most significantly, the performance captures the tenderness of Keaton's relationship with her mother, Dorothy Keaton Hall. This audio weaves Hall's journal entries, by turns joyous and painful, with Keaton's memories from her childhood and adult life. Entertaining and a must for fans. A Random House hardcover. (Nov.)
