Paperback in Very Good condition (197 pages)
At his mothers family house in the south of France, Patrick Melrose has the run of a magical garden.ᅡᅠ Bravely imaginative and self-sufficient, five-year-old Patrick encounters the volatile lives of adults with care.ᅡᅠ His father, David, rules with considered cruelty, and Eleanor, his mother, has retreated into drink.ᅡᅠ They are expecting guests for dinner.ᅡᅠ But this afternoon is unlike the chain of summer days before, and the shocking events that precede the guests arrival tear Patricks world in two.
St Aubyn puts an entire family under a microscope, laying bare all its painful, unavoidable complexities. At once epic and intimate, appalling and comic, the novels are masterpieces, each and every one.ᅡᅠ ~ᅡᅠᅡᅠMaggie OFarrellᅡᅠ
