The Muriel Spark Society: Appointment in Arezzo by Alan Taylor review

The Guardian review - click here .

Welcome to the Muriel Spark Society Web Log

The Society was founded in 2001, with Dame Muriel's personal approval and blessing. She was particularly happy to know that this is based in Edinburgh - which she termed 'her own city'.

The purpose of the Society is to promote the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Muriel Spark's work, and to provide opportunities to meet, discuss her work and learn more about her wide range of interests including art, music and fashion.

The committee organises a varied programme of events, including talks by eminent speakers, and an annual lunch in January or February to commemorate Dame Muriel's birthday.
