Synopsis :

"In her writing, Linda Cutting displays the same grace, thoughtfulness and talent that she's always brought to her music-making. With courageous candor, Linda has shone light into the darker corners of her own compelling life, and we, the readers, are richer for it." -- John Williams, Academy Award-winning composer and conductor laureate, The Boston Pops Orchestra

Linda Katherine Cutting's memoir of family and music

Memory Slips movingly portrays the trauma and recovery of a woman whose childhood was betrayed by those who were supposed to protect her. In exquisite prose she illuminates the inner life of a child for whom the gift of music was the only refuge, a refuge that protected her as long as it could. For when Linda began to remember what her father had done to her and her brothers -- both eventual suicides -- she stopped being able to remember Beethoven's notes.

Linda Cutting's writing bears witness to what had occurred. Her stunning "Hers" column, originally printed in the New York Times Sunday Magazine in October 1993, was clipped and carried in wallets and pocketbooks and reprinted around the world. Now, her memoir Memory Slips, will not only reach out and give voice to victims of abuse but also move anyone who cares about the power of writing, the beauty of music and the innocence of children.

À propos de l?auteur: Linda Katherine Cutting's "Her's" column was included in the Beacon Book of Essays by Contemporary American Women.

She has performed on numerous occasions with the Boston Pops Orchestra. A graduate of Whitworth College and the New England Conservatory of Music, she also attended Harvard University, the Aspen Music School, and Ernen Musikdorf.
