V. S Pritchett

Elderly Lettie Colston receives an anonymous phone call reminding her that she must die. Soon ten of Lettie's friends also get the call. A bizarre investigation reveals a network of deception that binds together the group of aging eccentrics.

The works of V. S. Pritchett, a British writer born in 1900 who mastered nearly every form of literature--the novel, short fiction, travel writings, criticism and memoir. Portraits of the Amazon and London vie with his reflections on turning eighty.
