Inventing Memory

Written by Erica Jong

Narrated by Melissa Manchester

This mesmerizing saga of modern womanhood and the heroic struggle for freedom is vividly brought to life through four generations of remarkable mothers and daughters. In the year 2005, Sarah finds herself drawn into the tumultuous lives of her unconventional ancestors. Spanning a hundred years, she calls to memory her great-grandmother Sarah, propelled by a Russian pogrom to America in 1906; her grandmother Salome, who cavorted with Henry Miller in pre-war Paris; and finally, her mother, Sally, a famous folk singer and emblem of the 1960s. Through the paradoxical nature of memory, Sarah discovers the power and passion that is her matriarchal birthright and comes to understand and impart her own story.
