The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St Aubyn

The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St Aubyn

Acclaimed for their searing wit and their deep humanity, this magnificent cycle of novels - in which Patrick Melrose battles to survive the savageries of his childhood and lead a self-determined life - is one of the major achievements in English fiction.

Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation -- Alan Hollinghurst
I've loved Edward St Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novelsRead them all, now -- David Nicholls
The wit of Wilde, the lightness of Wodehouse, the waspishness of Waugh. A joy -- Zadie Smith
At once epic and intimate, appalling and comic, the Melrose novels are masterpieces -- Maggie O'Farrell
Humour, pathos, razor-sharp judgement, pain, joy and everything in between. The Melrose novels are a masterwork for the twenty-first century, by one of our greatest prose stylists -- Alice Sebold

Edward St Aubyn's superbly acclaimed Melrose novels are Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, Mother's Milk (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2006) and At Last. He is also the author of the novels A Clue to the Exit, On the Edge, Lost for Words and Dunbar.
