Patrick lives in a big house with his mum and dad, but the person who is most attached to him is the housekeeper Yvette.

The first novel from the Patrick Melrose series, Ignore Me, introduces the reader to the protagonist's childhood and shows the atmosphere in which he grew up. The life of an English aristocrat and an American rich woman was subject to high standards, according to which the main thing was external, brilliant and superior, and the real problems and experiences always remained somewhere there, behind tightly closed bedroom doors.
