I’ve just recently finished the 2018 Patrick Melrose mini-series. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I knew it was only right to read the books too.

I was surprised by how quickly I burned through this. Edward St Aubyn’s writing style is fantastic and so engrossing. He’s able to conjure up such life with his descriptions, in both enchanting and horrifying ways. This story is heartbreaking, even more-so knowing it’s semi-autobiographical.

I can’t wait to read the rest of the books.
