A review by runkefer
The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St Aubyn

4.0

A dark, devastating portrait of upper-class Britain and lousy parenting. The prose is sharp and ironic, the insights sometimes painful in their accuracy and honesty. The last book, especially, was way too close to home for me. Even so, I recommend it, but not for those who are looking for a happy story or are looking for sugar-coating.
