      About This Book

      First published in 1997, Inventing Memory is about four generations of remarkable women from a Jewish-American family—their triumphs, tragedies, scandals, and love affairs—as related by Sara Solomon, the youngest of these women.

      While trying to chronicle their history, the story becomes essentially Sara's, as she comes to understand the nature of memory, the way all of us both invent and assimilate our ancestors. In learning about the women in her family, Sara discovers how to create her own future.

      Through rich storytelling, Jong captures the essence of Jewish heritage, the complexities of familial bonds, and the resilience of women navigating their paths in a rapidly changing world. Inventing Memory serves as a powerful testament to the enduring nature of memory and the intricate dynamics of motherhood and daughterhood across generations.
