Having enjoyed Spark's [b:Memento Mori|7102005|Memento Mori|Muriel Spark|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1307738473s/7102005.jpg|2934614], I was disappointed with this. Nothing happens for 100+ pages then it's over in <140.

A slim volume but still it dragged for me and took considerable effort to finish.
