Susannah Kennedy is left reeling when her mother Jane shockingly decides to take her own life, despite being a healthy 75 years.
One of the constants in the pair’s lives are Jane’s diaries, each one marked by the year it was filled with her remarks about every day over four and a half decades.
So after returning to the U.S. in the wake of her mother’s death with her German husband and three children, Kennedy reads all of the volumes over a year. She learns more about her late father, a violent alcoholic who often beat her mother. Kennedy also gets a look at her mother’s intense loneliness through her entries about a longstanding affair with a married man and her refusal to let him leave his wife.
“As I read the diaries, I find entry after entry complaining about me, almost as if she were obsessed. Why was she so concerned with how I looked? So invasive in her judgements?” the daughter writes.
