Then Again

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR The New York Times . People . Vogue . Financial Times . Sunday Telegraph . Chicago Sun-Times . The Independent . Bookreporter . The Sunday Business Post An intimate memoir from one of America‘s most acclaimed and beloved actresses. Best known for her role as Annie Hall in Woody Allen‘s film of the same name, for which she won an Academy Award, Diane Keaton had a highly successful career with performances in The Godfather, Reds, Father of the Bride, Something‘s Gotta Give and many more. This is the fascinating story of her rise to fame, her relationships with notable talents such as Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty, and her struggle with bulimia. But to write about herself, Diane realised she had to write about her mother too, and how their bond came to define both of their lives. The result is an unflinching and remarkably detailed portrait of Dorothy Hall - a woman restless with intellectual and creative energy, struggling to find an outlet for her talents - as well as her entire family, recounting a story that spans four generations and nearly a hundred years. A brilliant insight into the life of a legendary actress, Then Again is also a touching, funny and unforgettable exploration of family and the bonds that forever tie us to those we love the most.
