A review by marilynsaul
Memento Mori by Muriel Spark

2.0

I read this back in the 80s and remember really liking it. So I got another copy and dug in. Wow, how my perspective on what constitutes a great (or even good) book has changed! Parts of it were hilarious - a bunch of old people revealing their secrets and gossiping about one another - but the ending was so unsatisfactory, and, frankly, now that I'm in my late 60s, reading about elderly folks coming to grips (or not) with their inevitable demise isn't so darn appealing.
