Review ‘This triumphant conclusion to St Aubyn’s sequence about boyhood traumas and adult tribulations fizzes with his astringent verbal flair and lethal ear for dialogue’ Peter Kemp, Sunday Times‘Urgent emotional intensity, brilliant social satire . . . A terrifying, spectacularly entertaining saga’ James Lasdun, Guardian'At once epic and intimate, appalling and comic, the Melrose novels are masterpieces' Maggie O'Farrell‘Remarkable. St Aubyn’s books are at once extremely dark and extremely funny’ Francine Prose, New York Times‘The Melrose novels are remarkable – ferociously funny, painfully acute and exhilaratingly written. A brilliantly controlled story of a life sent out of control’ Peter Kemp, Sunday Times‘At Last is a miraculously wrought piece of art’ Suzi Feay, Financial Times‘The pinnacle of a series that has plunged into darkness and risen towards light. At Last is both resounding end and hopeful beginning’ Philip Womack, Telegraph‘Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation’ Alan Hollinghurst‘Humor, pathos, razor-sharp judgement, pain, joy and everything in between. The Melrose novels are a masterwork for the 21st century, by one of our greatest prose stylists’ Alice Sebold‘From the very first lines I was completely hooked . . . By turns witty, moving and an intense social comedy, I wept at the end but wouldn’t dream of giving away the totally unexpected reason’ Antonia Fraser, Sunday Telegraph Book Description The fifth Patrick Melrose novel in Edward St Aubyn's remarkable series.
