markludmon 's review for:

Never Mind by Edward St. Aubyn
5.0

Told in a tautly written style, Never Mind is an horrific but sometimes comic portrayal of David and Eleanor Melrose and their friends on the Côte d'Azur over the course of one day. The book reveals extremes of snobbery and savagery that belie their supposedly respectable lives, hinting at the damage it is doing to the Melrose's son, Patrick - the protagonist in the following four novels in the Patrick Melrose series.
