Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, Mother's Milk is the fourth Patrick Melrose novel from Edward St Aubyn.
The once illustrious, once wealthy Melroses are in peril.
Caught up in the wreckage of broken promises, child-rearing, adultery and assisted suicide, Patrick finds his wife Mary consumed by motherhood, his mother in thrall to a New Age foundation, and his young son Robert understanding far more than he should.
But even as the family struggles against the pull of its ever-present past, a new generation brings a new tenderness, and the possibility of change.
‘So good – so fantastically well written, profound and humane ... it is heartstopping.'
The Observer
'Brimming with witty flair, sardonic perceptiveness and literary finesse.’
The Sunday Times
‘Mother’s Milk has the cerebral excitement and piercing funniness of St Aubyn at his brilliant best.’
Tatler
