Patrick Melrose Volume 1: Never Mind, Bad News and Some Hope (Patrick Melrose Novels Vol 1)

'Remarkable - ferociously funny, painfully acute and exhilaratingly written' Sunday Times

Moving from Provence to New York to Gloucestershire, from the savageries of a childhood with a cruel father and an alcoholic mother to an adulthood fraught with addiction, Patrick Melrose is on a mission to escape himself.

But the drugs don't make him forget his past, and the glittering parties offer him no redemption . . .
Searingly funny and deeply humane, Patrick Melrose: Volume 1 contains the first three novels in the Patrick Melrose series, Never Mind, Bad News and Some Hope.

'Humour, pathos, razor-sharp judgement, pain, joy and everything in between. The Melrose novels are a masterwork for the twenty-first century' Alice Sebold

''The Patrick Melrose novels are masterpieces, each and every one' Maggie O'Farrell
