Patrick Melrose Volume 1: Never Mind, Bad News and Some Hope - TV tie-in

Patrick Melrose Volume 1 contains the first three novels in Edward St. Aubyn's semi-autobiographical series, filmed for Sky Atlantic and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as aristocratic Patrick. Moving from Provence to New York to Gloucestershire, from the savageries of a childhood with a cruel father and an alcoholic mother to an adulthood fraught with addiction, Patrick Melrose is on a mission to escape himself. But the drugs don't make him forget his past, and the glittering parties offer him no redemption ... Searingly funny and deeply humane!
