 Definition: 

Memento Mori
A novel about a group of old people whose eccentricities and prejudices have been solidified by time, and who must face up to unpleasant truths when messages from a mysterious source arrive saying, Remember you must die. MEMENTO MORI is considered by many critics to be Spark`s best novel; Graham Greene claimed it delighted me as much as any novel that I have read since the war, and Tennessee Williams called it chillingly brilliant.
