At Last by Edward St Aubyn

4.0

The funny side of everything: and the finale of the quintet, in which Patrick Melrose seems to find a compromise that will allow him a little of what he craves: a quiet life not lacking in drama. Set before, during and after the funeral of his ghastly mother, attended by various pop-eyed plutocrats, demented acquaintances and some of the charity cases that interested Eleanor rather more than her own son, insincerity battles with memory for supremacy and neither wins an unequivocal victory.
