About This Novel
The winner of the Femina Foreign Fiction Award and shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the original novel of the hit TV series starring Benedict Cumberbatch is an anti-heroic epic about a prodigal son, the haunting childhood shadow, and the costly road to self-rescue. The Melrose family is in danger. Disillusioned prospects, childcare responsibilities, adultery, and suicide enveloped Patrick's life. He discovers that the burdens of motherhood are weighing on his wife, Mary, his mother has become a slave to a New Age foundation, and his young son, Robert, knows far more than he should. But even as this family struggles with the lingering past, the emergence of a new generation of members still breeds new warmth and brings the possibility of a turnaround.
