Memento Mori

Unforgettably astounding and a joy to read, Memento Mori is considered by many to be the greatest novel by the wizardly Dame Muriel Spark.In late 1950s London, something uncanny besets a group of elderly friends: an insinuating voice on the telephone informs each, "Remember you must die." Their geriatric feathers are soon thoroughly ruffled More »

[ 3.0 stars ] "This is the story of a large number of elderly people (mostly well-to-do) as they live out the "autumn" years of their lives. Past transgressions (mostly infidelities) complicate their current lives. Secrets abound. It's a witty, plot-driven story with a deeper theme (memento mori) woven throughout. The characters are largely believable, and are somewhat developed, although with so many ch ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] ""Remember, you must die."That is the message a gaggle of elderly and increasingly decrepit folks in England are getting. Who is calling? That's the mystery, but, of course, the insightful reader will realize that we are ALL getting this same phone call, all the time, though few of us take the time to pick up the phone, hear the message, and ponder the implications.Muriel Spark is a wonderful w ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Always amazes me when I can agree with both the five star and two star reviews. I liked this book for its tone and what one reviewer labeled the "economy" of Spark's writing. As a matter of craft, she is probably a genious for so seamlessly weaving so many quirky characters and sublots through such a cohesive, cleverly-written vehicle. For that talent alone, she deserves five stars.But the plo ..." Courtesy by Amazon
