SOME HOPE
Book ID/图书代码： 00200005B11607
English Summary/英文概要： Edward St Aubyn’s Some Hope is the third in the Patrick Melrose series.
Rather confusingly, the title “SOME HOPE” was also used as the title for an omnibus, which consisted of it and the first two novels.
Patrick Melrose, cleaned-up and world-weary, is a reluctant guest at a glittering party deep in the English countryside. Amid a crowd of flitting social dragonflies, he finds his search for redemption and capacity for forgiveness challenged by his observation of the cruelties around him. Armed with his biting wit and a newly fashioned openness, can Patrick, who has been to the furthest limits of experience and back again, find release from the savageries of his childhood?
