Inhalt: PRE-ORDER BLUE SISTERS, THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED NEW NOVEL FROM COCO MELLORS NOW. 'A tender, devastating and funny exploration of love and friendship and the yearning for self-evisceration. Coco Mellors is an elegant and exciting new voice' PANDORA SYKES, author of How Do We Know We're Doing It Right New York is slipping from Cleo's grasp. Sure, she's at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank's life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art-and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now. Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or worse. Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.

Inhalt: Ein Silvesterabend in New York: Cleo, Mitte zwanzig, britische Kunststudentin, Bohémienne a.k.a. ewig pleite, trifft Frank, Mitte vierzig, Amerikaner, Inhaber einer Werbeagentur und ungleich gesettleter, im Aufzug einer Partylocation. Es ist die vielbeschworene Liebe auf den ersten Blick. Hals über Kopf stürzen Cleo und Frank sich in eine amour fou, mit der sie selbst kaum Schritt halten können - geschweige denn die, die ihnen nahestehen.
Eine absolut süchtig machende New-York-Romanze, herzzerreißend und beglückend zugleich - und ein ungewöhnlich reifer Debütroman. Mit Coco Mellors lernen wir eine unverwechselbare neue literarische Stimme kennen, von der noch viel zu hören sein wird.
