This boxed-style paperback edition collects the five Patrick Melrose novels in one accessible format, making it easy to follow the arc of a complicated, often excruciatingly funny protagonist. The books span Patrick’s childhood trauma, battles with addiction, and long, uneven path toward healing — all written in St Aubyn’s signature crystalline prose that balances caustic humor with compassion.

What each novel brings to the collection

Never Mind — The introduction to Patrick Melrose, a blistering and witty account of a young man’s damaged upbringing and the ways it shapes his present.

Mothers Milk — A mature, emotionally rich installment exploring family, inheritance, and the quiet, complicated loyalties that bind people together.

Some Hope — Shorter and punchier, this book sharpens the satire while deepening Patrick’s attempts to reclaim his life.

At Last — A turning point where love and understanding begin to shift Patrick’s narrative; a more reflective, tender volume.

Bad News — The final novel that completes the arc, mixing melancholy and dark humor in a poignant examination of recovery and legacy.
