'I am a wanderer: one with a hoarder's love of houses & things...I am tracing here a memory map of all the places that have stayed with me &, since this is also a map of all the voyages of discovery, this is also the story of the getting to those places.' In Memory Map, probably her most personal book, Lisa charts a life spent in all corners of the world, from Wimbledon to the Venezuelan Andes, from the Caribbean to Ghana, & confesses to wanderlust & fate as being her chief guides. An itinerant lifestyle creates an unpredictable personal life though & Lisa writes movingly about being the support for three children by three different husbands & also, of the pain of failing to be strong.
