From the film star and best-selling author of Then Again comes a memoir about Keaton's relationship with her younger brother and an exploration of the divergent paths siblings' lives can take.
What The Reviewers Say
Apart from telling a poignant story about two siblings, Brother & Sister is a fascinating exercise in writing a personal and methodical tale about someone who has come to feel, in some sense, like a stranger.
... there’s no tentative toe-testing. From page one, Keaton dives deep into a pool of regret about her relationship with her mentally ill younger brother, Randy Hall.
Brother & Sister ruminates on the mysteries that shape us—nurture or nature, volition or destiny. Disassembling the family narrative, Keaton asks big questions, bracing for the discomfort they provoke.
This must have been a very difficult book for actress Diane Keaton to write.
