Publisher's Synopsis

Shortlisted for the Man Booker PrizeWinner of the South Bank Literature Award'So good - so fantastically well-written, profound and humane . . . it is heart-stopping' ObserverThe once illustrious, once wealthy Melroses are in peril. Caught up in the wreckage of broken promises, child-rearing, adultery and assisted suicide, Patrick finds his wife Mary consumed by motherhood, his mother in thrall to a New Age foundation, and his young son Robert understanding far more than he should. But even as the family struggles against the pull of its ever-present past, a new generation brings a new tenderness, and the possibility of change.'Wonderful caustic wit . . . Polished yet profound, it's even better than his previous work, and that's saying something' The Guardian 'Mother's Milk has the cerebral excitement and piercing funniness of St Aubyn at his brilliant best' Tatler.
