In this perfectly poised tale, wicked wit, artifice, and no little wisdom collude to produce a singular delight: a novel about mortality that is both unnerving and exuberant. Exhibiting the author’s uncanny ability to infuse human affairs, no matter how petty or mundane, with an otherworldly gravity and inscrutable grace, Memento Mori (Latin for "Remember, you must die") portrays the fears, foibles, and vanities of old age in original and shocking ways. Quietly inventive and always a pleasure to read, Spark is a major writer who displays her mastery in deceptively modest and delightfully entertaining books.

Spark is in a class or her own. Read everything by her.
