Patrick Melrose Volume 2: Mother's Milk and At Last (Patrick Melrose Novels Vol 2)

'Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation' Alan Hollinghurst

The once illustrious, once wealthy Melroses are in peril, and Patrick Melrose, now a husband and father, is trying to gather together the pieces of his life. Caught up in the turmoil of broken promises, assisted suicide, adultery and - most tender and terrifying of all - fatherhood, Patrick is still a long way from salvation, but even as the family struggles against the pull of its dark past, a new generation promises new light, new hope and - perhaps - the promise of a brighter future.

Deeply moving, hilarious and heartbreaking, Patrick Melrose: Volume 2 contains the final two novels in the Patrick Melrose series, Mother's Milk and At Last.

'So good - so fantastically well written, profound and humane . . . it is heartstopping' Observer

'The wit of Wilde, the lightness of Wodehouse, the waspishness of Waugh. A joy' Zadie Smith
