At Last

THE FIFTH PATRICK MELROSE NOVEL As friends, relatives and foes trickle in to pay their final respects to his mother Eleanor, Patrick Melrose finds himself questioning whether a life without parents will be the liberation he has so long imagined. Yet as the memorial service ends and the family gathers one last time, amidst the social niceties and the social horrors, the calms and the rapids, Patrick begins to sense a new current: the chance of some form of safety -- at last. 'At Last is a miraculously wrought piece of art' Suzi Feay, Financial Times 'Urgent emotional intensity, brilliant social satire ...A terrifying, spectacularly entertaining saga' James Lasdun, Guardian 'Remarkable. St Aubyn's books are at once extremely dark and extremely funny' Francine Prose, New York Times 'The pinnacle of a series that has plunged into darkness and risen towards light. At Last is both resounding end and hopeful beginning' Philip Womack, Telegraph
