Coco Mellors published her debut novel, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, in 2022 to strong reviews. The book follows a young British woman and an older American man whose impulsive New York marriage quickly starts to crack. Told from multiple viewpoints, the novel examines how a relationship’s collapse affects everyone around it. The writing is sharp and the characters are flawed in recognizable ways.
Blue Sisters (2024) continued Mellors’ interest in family and grief. Three sisters, each dealing with her own struggles, must come together after the death of a fourth sister. The novel moves between New York, London, and Los Angeles. Mellors writes about privilege and pain without flinching, and her characters feel real in their contradictions.
