Finally, \u003cem\u003eAt Last\u003c\/em\u003e brings the cycle to its close on the day of his mother's funeral, offering a hard-won, unsentimental sense of resolution. Written in prose that is by turns caustic, tender and mordantly funny, St Aubyn's five novels form a single unbroken portrait of privilege, cruelty and survival. Widely praised by critics and fellow novelists alike, the sequence was adapted into a Sky\/Showtime television series starring Benedict Cumberbatch. This complete paperback set lets readers experience Patrick's story in full, from childhood trauma to hard-earned peace, in the author's original intended reading order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll five Patrick Melrose novels in one complete paperback set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollows the full story arc from childhood trauma to recovery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcclaimed, award-recognised literary fiction adapted for television\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for book clubs, literary fiction fans and gift buyers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new condition, UK paperback edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEdward St Aubyn is a British novelist born in London, best known for the Patrick Melrose cycle, widely regarded as one of the standout achievements in modern English literature.
