More about the book

The brilliant culmination of the Melrose novels. As friends, relations and foes trickle in to pay final respects to his mother, Eleanor, Patrick Melrose finds that orphanhood isn't necessarily the liberation he had for so long imagined. Yet is it possible that as the service ends and the family gather for a final party, amidst the social niceties and the social horrors, the calms and the rapids, Patrick begins to sense a new current - even a form of safety? A powerful, glittering novel of the treacheries of family, At Last is the brilliant and profoundly moving culmination of the Melrose books.
