Coco Mellors has published two standalone novels that share a thematic interest in how people fail each other and try again. Cleopatra and Frankenstein (2022) follows a marriage that is coming apart. Blue Sisters (2024) follows a family coming apart after a death. Both books use multiple perspectives and move between cities.
The novels have attracted readers who enjoy character-driven literary fiction about people in crisis. Mellors writes with empathy for her characters even when they are making poor choices, and her prose is polished without being showy.
