International bestselling author
'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.'
The Sunday Times
The brilliant culmination of the Melrose novels.
As friends, relations and foes trickle in to pay final respects to his mother, Eleanor, Patrick Melrose finds that orphanhood isn't necessarily the liberation he had for so long imagined. Yet is it possible that as the service ends and the family gather for a final party, amidst the social niceties and the social horrors, the calms and the rapids, Patrick begins to sense a new current – even a form of safety?
A powerful, glittering novel of the treacheries of family, At Last is the brilliant and profoundly moving culmination of the Melrose books.
'The Melrose novels are remarkable – ferociously funny, painfully acute and exhilaratingly written. A brilliantly controlled story of a life sent out of control.'
The Sunday Times
'Urgent emotional intensity, brilliant social satire ... A terrifying, spectacularly entertaining saga.'
The Guardian
'Remarkable. St Aubyn’s books are at once extremely dark and extremely funny.'
The New York Times
'At Last is a miraculously wrought piece of art.'
The Financial Times
