Described by David Lodge as 'her first masterpiece', Memento Mori
opens with a telephone call and the words 'Remember you must die'.
Over several months, a circle of elderly men and women receive
similar calls and everyone becomes a suspect. As the investigating
police inspector muses: 'Death, when it approaches, ought not to
take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of
life. Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid. You
might as well live on the whites of eggs.' While immersed in the
indignities of old age, dementia and death, this novel is both
profoundly compassionate and entertaining. The publishers
acknowledge investment from Creative Scotland towards the
publication of this book. Supported by the Muriel Spark Society.
