Prima di iniziare questa saga sappiate che state per leggere la vita di personaggi odiosi e fastidiosi oltre misura, scritti con uno stile crudo e ironico e con trigger warnings giganteschi. Questo primo volume conta solo 150 pagine quindi non saprei davvero che valutazione dare, sembra più un racconto breve senza un vero finale. So solo che mi ha fatto venire voglia di proseguire subito. Consiglio anche la miniserie Patrick Melrose che e un ottimo adattamento.

This was amazing ! Unlike anything I’ve ever read before. The way it seamlessly flows between the perspectives of the ensemble of characters, sentence to sentence - it’s so good !!! And it’s so shocking and dark and sad too, and that’s jarring with the funny tone but in a good way. And the whole time I was asking “what about Patrick??? What ABOUT PATRICK???????” and the answer always goes back to the genius title: “never mind”. And it’s so dark !! And so good !!! Patrick was the centre of the whole thing and completely invisible at the same time. It was so clever how did he do it ??
