For Patrick Melrose, 'family' is more than a double-edged sword. As friends, relations and foes trickle in to pay final respects to his mother, Eleanor, Patrick finds that his transition to orphanhood isn't necessarily the liberation he had so long imagined.

I cannot say that i am sorry to leave the world of Patrick Melrose and his dysfunctional family as we come full circle to the funeral of his mother and he reflects upon her failure to protect him from the dreadful abuse of his father David which was first exposed in bk1 but in this expanded upon
Definitely brilliant writing and a compelling tale but thank goodness i can leave that world behind.

Final book in the Patrick Melrose saga. The foreground is the funeral of Patrick's mother Eleanor, interspersed with flashbacks of Patrick's life, illuminating further the monstrosity of his father and the complicity in the abuse Patrick of his mother. As always the dark satire is interwoven with some thought-provoking insights into the human condition.
