Remember you must die. Dame Lettie Colston is the first of her
circle to receive insinuating anonymous phone calls. Neither she,
nor her friends, wish to be reminded of their mortality, and their
geriatric feathers are thoroughly ruffled. As the caller's
activities become more widespread, old secrets are dusted off,
exposing post and present duplicities, self-deception and
blackmail. Nobody is above suspicion. Witty, poignant and wickedly
hilarious, Memento Mori may ostensibly concern death, but it is a
book which leaves one relishing life all the more. Books included
in the VMC 40th anniversary series include: Frost in May by Antonia
White; The Collected Stories of Grace Paley; Fire from Heaven by
Mary Renault; The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter; The Weather in
the Streets by Rosamond Lehmann; Deep Water by Patricia Highsmith;
The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West; Their Eyes Were Watching
God by Zora Neale Hurston; Heartburn by Nora Ephron; The Dud
Avocado by Elaine Dundy; Memento Mori by Muriel Spark; A View of
the Harbour by Elizabeth Taylor; and Faces in the Water by Janet
Frame
