An Atlantic Magazine Best Book of the Year
A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year
"The Melrose Novels are a masterwork for the 21st century, written by
one of the great prose stylists in England." (Alice Sebold, author of
The Lovely Bones)
For more than 20 years, acclaimed author Edward St. Aubyn has chronicled
the life of Patrick Melrose, painting an extraordinary portrait of the
beleaguered and self-loathing world of privilege. This single volume
collects the first four novels Never Mind, Bad News, Some Hope, and
Mother's Milk, a Man Booker finalist - to coincide with the publication
of At Last, the final installment of this unique novel cycle. By turns
harrowing and hilarious, these beautifully written novels dissect the
English upper class as we follow Patrick Melrose's story from child
abuse to heroin addiction and recovery.
The Fourth Patrick Melrose Book
Awards
The Man Booker Prize (nominee)
Writing with the scathing wit and bright perceptiveness for which he has become known, celebrated English author Edward St. Aubyn creates a complex family portrait that examines the shifting allegiances between mothers, sons, and husbands. The novel's perspective ricochets among all members of the Melrose family -- the family featured in St. Aubyn's widely praised trilogy, Some Hope -- starting with Robert, who provides an exceptionally droll and convincing account of being born; to Patrick, a hilariously churlish husband who has been sexually abandoned by his wife in favor of his sons; to Mary, who's consumed by her children and overwhelming desire not to repeat the mistakes of her own mother. All the while, St. Aubyn examines the web of false promises that entangle this once illustrious family -- whose last vestige of wealth, an old house in the south of France -- is about to be donated by Patrick's mother to a New Age foundation. An up-to-the-minute dissection of the mores of child-rearing, marriage, adultery, and assisted suicide, Mother's Milk showcases St. Aubyn's luminous and acidic prose -- and his masterful ability to combine the most excruciating emotional pain with the driest comedy.

You cannot upgrade the sound quality by upgrading the bitrate.
The bitrate can be upgraded to any number but the sound quality will remain unaltered.
Reducing the bitrate, which also can be done, WILL reduce the sound quality.
