Synopsis
Muriel Spark's very funny 1959 novel is about a group of old people whose eccentricities and prejudices have been solidified by time, and who must face up to unpleasant truths when messages from a mysterious source arrive saying, "Remember you must die." MEMENTO MORI is considered by many critics to be Spark's best novel; Graham Greene claimed it "delighted me as much as any novel that I have read since the war," and Tennessee Williams called it "chillingly brilliant."

Industry Reviews
"There is a Waugh-like brilliance to this novel....This last is the most remarkable of Miss Spark's achievements. Nothing is forced, least of all the humor."
Naipaul

"[A] bright young lady named Muriel Spark has mixed a touch of Agatha Christie with some of the swift, slightly brutal comedy of Evelyn Waugh to produce a novel about death that ought to tease, entertain, and quietly perturb a wide variety of American readers.
New York Times Book Review - Robert Phelps (05/17/1959)
