Doskonałe są te trzy mini powieści. Angielski czarny humor, angielski XIX-wieczny sposób pisania idealnie zaadaptowany do końcówki XX wieku.

St Aubynin omaan elämään perustuvat kirjat maalaavat kuvottavan mutta kiehtovan kuvauksen Englannin yläluokasta.
”Tuo on yleinen harhaluulo”, prinsessa sanoi suu supussa, ”syntyperässä ei ole mitään sattumanvaraista.”

Det är så mörkt i bok ett och två. Tre lite lättare och skriva kan han St. Aubyn.

what i need now are: antidepressants, vodka (ironically, it's the sober-month or something) and tapenada. that's the only way in which i can read the next volume without being even more depressed.

The first part is the most fun, like Trainspotting meets Pride and Prejudice.

Never Mind: This is the first book in a trilogy, and the characters who appear in the trilogy also turn up later in Mother's Milk. The book I have is actually the trilogy published as a single volume under the title Some Hope which is the title of the third part.
I was contemplating reading the trilogy as a single book, since that's really how it has been packaged, but at the end of the first volume I couldn't find the energy to carry on. Interesting (often hideous) characters, and fine writing, but nothing much in the way of a story to make me want to read on.
I may return for more. I may not.
