THE STORY OF FORGETTING

by | Read by Patrick Lawlor

Fiction • 10.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2008

Abel Haggard tells the story of his life—his past commission of adultery with his brother's wife and his present dreams of the imaginary land of Isadora. Patrick Lawlor reads this tale of immorality and a search for the past in a sharp, grating voice. Interspersed with Haggard's tale is Seth Waller's story of caring for his mother, who has Alzheimer's disease, and his dream of finding a cure. Lawlor's delivery becomes monotonous as the novel recounts the meanderings of Abel’s and Seth’s minds from the present to the past and back again. As the listener struggles to follow the stream-of-consciousness points of view, the story drifts between the two narrators as they search for Isadora and a cure for failing memory.
