Never Mind

Om boken

At his mother's family house in the south of France, Patrick Melrose has the run of a magical garden. Bravely imaginative and self-sufficient, five-year-old Patrick encounters the volatile lives of adults with care. His father, David, rules with considered cruelty, and Eleanor, his mother, has retreated into drink. They are expecting guests for dinner. But this afternoon is unlike the chain of summer days before, and the shocking events that precede the guests' arrival tear Patrick's world in two. 'Perhaps the most brilliant English novelist of his generation' — Alan Hollingurst 'At once epic and intimate, appalling and comic, the novels are masterpieces, each and every one' — Maggie O'Farrell, author of The Marriage Portrait
