Author: Edward St Aubyn
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 464
Set amid the luxury and squalor that characterize New York City, aristocrat Patrick Melrose endures a disastrous marriage and drug addiction on a roller-coaster ride to destruction. From Provence to New York to Gloucestershire, through the savageries of a childhood with a tyrannical father and an alcoholic mother to a young adulthood fraught with drug addiction, we follow Patrick Melrose's search for redemption amidst a crowd of glittering social dragonflies whose vapidity is the subject of his most stinging and memorable barbs. A story of abuse, addiction, and recovery, the trilogy is a haunting yet hilarious depiction of a journey to and from the furthest limits of the human experience. Ultimately, Some Hope offers what the title suggests - a powerfully satisfying conclusion and the reconciliation between the quest for forgiveness and redemption, marking St. Aubyn as a truly important literary discovery, one of the most original, intelligent and acerbically witty voices of our time.
