About this listen

Dame Lettie, a blue-blooded reformer, Godfrey - her rather irritating brother, and his once fabulous novelist wife Charmian. But who is the caller? And why are they reminding them of this final truth? It's unsettling and mysterious. The activity increases and soon a witch-hunt is in full force, with nobody beyond suspicion.

First published in 1959, Muriel Spark's startling and timeless novel is at once a crime story, a black comedy and an important meditation on mortality. Rediscover this classic as performed by Eve Karpf on the 100th anniversary of Muriel Spark's birth.

This richly inventive, darkly comic masterpiece is here enhanced by an exemplary reading to become an audio book that is exceptional.

Muriel Spark's agile survey of a group of loosely linked elderly characters, now about to confront life's last curtain, is both wickedly funny and shot through with a subtle melancholy. It celebrates life, faces the prospect of death and beguiles us with a gripping story about both.

A darkly comic triumph
