Memento Mori

<p><i><b>Remember you must die.</b><br></i><br> 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.<br> <br> Witty, poignant and wickedly hilarious, <i>Memento Mori</i> may ostensibly concern death, but it is a book which leaves one relishing life all the more.<br> <b><br> Books included in the VMC 40th anniversary series include: <i>Frost in May</i> by Antonia White; <i>The Collected Stories of Grace Paley</i>; <i>Fire from Heaven</i> by Mary Renault; <i>The Magic Toyshop</i> by Angela Carter; <i>The Weather in the Streets</i> by Rosamond Lehmann; <i>Deep Water</i> by Patricia Highsmith; <i>The Return of the Soldier</i> by Rebecca West; <i>Their Eyes Were Watching God</i> by Zora Neale Hurston; <i>Heartburn</i> by Nora Ephron; <i>The Dud Avocado</i> by Elaine Dundy; <i>Memento Mori</i> by Muriel Spark; <i>A View of the Harbour</i> by Elizabeth Taylor; and <i>Faces in the Water</i> by Janet Frame</b></p>
