Synopsis

So begins Diane Keatons unforgettable memoir about her mother and herself. In it you will meet the woman known to tens of millions as Annie Hall, but you will also meet, and fall in love with, her mother, the loving, complicated, always thinking Dorothy Hall. To write about herself, Diane realized she had to write about her mother, too, and how their bond came to define both their lives. And so, in a remarkable act of creation, Diane not only reveals herself to us, she also lets us meet in intimate detail her mother. Throughout her life, Dorothy kept eighty-five journalsliterally thousands of pagesin which she wrote about her marriage, her children, and, most probingly, about herself. Dorothy also recorded memorable stories about Dianes grandparents. Diane has sorted through all these pages to paint an unflinching portrait of her mothera woman restless with intellectual and creative energy struggling to find an outlet for her talentsas well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years.
