Synopsis
One day in 1992, Jill Robinson woke up in a London hospital, unable to recognize her husband and drawing a blank on her previous life. This is the account of her journey to recovery, during which she had to cling onto memories retained while searching for those that she had lost. She seems to recall her privileged childhood most clearly, offering a loving portrait of her father, the Oscar-winning writer and film executive Dore Schary, who ran MGM studios for several years. Raised among Hollywood royalty in the 1940s and 1950s, she occasionally confuses her life with film plots. This is a story of coming to terms with amnesia and the terror of being a writer without memory.
