内容简介 Book Description
The once illustrations, once wealthy Melroses are in peril. Caught up in the wreckage of broken promises, child-rearing, adultery and assisted suicide, Patrick finds his wife consumed by motherhood, his mother consumed by a New Age foundation, and his five-year-old son Robert understanding far more than he ought.

Mother's Milk is a dazzling exploration of the troubled allegiances between parents and children, husbands and wives:acerbically witty, disarmingly tender, it goes to the core of a family trapped in the remains of its ever-present past.

媒体推荐 Reviews
1. "Wonderful caustic wit...Perhaps the very sprightliness of the prose - its lapidary concision and moral certitude - represents the cure for which the characters yearn. So much good writing is in itself a form of health."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　------Edmund White, Guardian

2. "St. Aubyn is a staggeringly good prose stylist and evidently has a big and open heart"
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　------The Times

3. "Mother's Milk has the cerebral excitement and piercing funniness of St. Aubyn at his brilliant best."
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　------Tatler
