Brother & Sister

Actor Diane Keaton holds nothing back in this memoir of childhood. She recalls her tender relationship with her younger brother, Randy, a seemingly normal child who grew into a troubled adult. Listeners will be drawn in by her candor as she considers her feelings at key stages of their lives. Keaton's voice is as lively as it has been in the roles that made her famous. Listeners are likely to forget that an Oscar winner is letting them into very private moments because her love for Randy has a universal quality. She recounts his difficulties in a contemplative voice that may cause listeners to think about their own loved ones or regrets about growing up. M.R. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
