Muriel Spark's journey from a working-class upbringing in Edinburgh to becoming a prominent literary figure highlights her resilience and creativity. Her autobiography, Curriculum Vitae, touches on her challenging family dynamics, mental health struggles, and tumultuous relationships. After a brief marriage in southern Rhodesia, she returned to Britain, where she found her voice as a poet and critic. Spark's conversion to Catholicism in 1954 marked a turning point, leading to acclaimed novels like Memento Mori and The Girls of Slender Means, solidifying her place in 20th-century literature.
