Mother's Milk: complexities of life, richly observed,
By J. Cameron-Smith "Expect the Unexpected" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Mother's Milk: A Novel (Paperback)
This is the first of Mr St. Aubyn's novels I have read. I will now be seeking out the others.The observational wit in this novel is perceptive, incisive and cruelly accurate. Because the satire is so splendid, narrative weakness made less of an impact on my enjoyment of the novel. The strongest part of the narrative, for me, was that delivered by Patrick's son Robert: especially in the early part of the novel. This novel should be read and enjoyed for the language alone. I expect that the underlying story makes more sense to those who are already familiar with Patrick Melrose from the earlier novels. Recommended. Jennifer Cameron-Smith

Edition advertised,
By Calder Falk "CRF" (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: MOTHER'S MILK (Paperback)
The book came quickly- early, in fact and was in great shape, as described. I especially like the fact that the particular edition I wanted was the one I got- sometimes the book is different from the cover shown- this is the one my prof wanted. I need it for a summer class, so I have not read it yet, but I am very happy with the booksellers and will definitely purchase from them again. Thank you.
