Blue Sisters

‘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 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.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein

”En skøn bog der minder én om, at selv i kærlighedens tosomhed kan ensomheden gøre én hjemløs.” – Litteratursiden.dk “Den hotteste nye bog” – en SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ”Øm, bevægende og morsom” – Pandora Sykes “Pirrende … filmisk … [Mellors] har skrevet nogle formidable sætninger og demonstrerer en stor sans for dialog.” – Los Angeles Times New York City. Et tilfældigt, halvberuset møde nytårsaften ender med at ændre Cleo og Frank på måder, ingen af dem nogensinde havde forestillet sig. Cleo er en ung kunstnerspire, der bor i New York og er til en ny fest hver aften, men hun kender nærmest ingen mennesker. Hun bliver snart smidt hjem til England, og hun har ikke engang råd til cigaretter. Indtil hun møder Frank. Han er tyve år ældre end hende og lever det succesrige luksusliv, Cleo savner. Han kan give hende lykke, økonomisk frihed og permanent opholdstilladelse. Hun kan give ham skønhed og forhåbentlig en grund til at stoppe med at drikke så meget. Cleo og Frank indleder en hæsblæsende kærlighedsaffære, der slår dem begge omkuld og berører alle omkring dem: Cleos vilde bedsteven, der ikke helt vil give slip på hende, Franks søster, der må sugardate for at betale regningerne, og Cleo og Franks lille kæleegern, Jesus. COCO MELLORS er født i London, men har siden teenagealderen boet i USA. CLEOPATRA OG FRANKENSTEIN er Coco Mellors debut­roman og udkom til strålende anmeldelser.

Cleopatra og Frankenstein

Cleopatra en Frankenstein van Coco Mellors is voor de lezers van Normale mensen van Sally Rooney. In Cleopatra en Frankenstein van Coco Mellors probeert de vierentwintigjarige Britse kunstschilder Cleo haar draai te vinden in New York. Vlak voordat haar visum verloopt, ontmoet ze Frank. Hij is een twintig jaar oudere selfmade man en ze worden verliefd. Door met Frank te trouwen krijgt Cleo de vrijheid om te schilderen en in Amerika te blijven. Hij krijgt er schoonheid en kunst voor terug. Maar hun impulsieve huwelijk heeft onvoorziene gevolgen voor de mensen om hen heen. Of het nu Cleo’s beste vriend is, die worstelt met zijn genderidentiteit, of Franks zus, die afhankelijk is van sugardaddy’s, of dat het nu Cleo en Frank zelf zijn, die de beproevingen van hun huwelijk proberen te doorstaan: het zijn stuk voor stuk fascinerende personages in pijnlijk herkenbare situaties. Cleopatra en Frankenstein van Coco Mellors is een ijzersterk debuut, zowel humoristisch als hartverscheurend en even lichtvoetig als diep ontroerend. ‘In de kern is dit een roman over hoe makkelijk de liefde en geliefden verkeerd begrepen kunnen worden en hoe relatieproblemen ook vrienden en familie raken. Een slimme en meeslepende vertolking van de big-city romance.’ – Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ‘Deze New Yorkers worden in al hun menselijkheid getoond en het is heerlijk om tijd door te brengen in hun sprankelende aanwezigheid, met hun plezier en verdriet.’ – The Spectator ‘Een intelligent verhaal over keuzes en spijt.’ – Harper’s Bazaar

Cleopatra en Frankenstein

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 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.

Gelingt es ihnen, aus dem existenziellen Scherbenhaufen gemeinsam etwas Neues entstehen zu lassen?

Blue Sisters (Ungekürzt)

"Manter a qualidade do best-seller Cleópatra e Frankenstein não deveria ser fácil, mas As Irmãs Blue atrai imediatamente." — Stylist UM DOS LIVROS MAIS AGUARDADOS DE 2024 PELO SUNDAY TIMES Quatro irmãs. Agora, três... Precisam lidar com a perda e as memórias deixadas pela irmã e retornar para a casa de sua família em Nova York nesta história inesquecível de luto, identidade e complexidades familiares. As três irmãs Blue são excepcionais e excepcionalmente diferentes. Avery, a mais velha, uma viciada em recuperação, é uma advogada conservadora e mora com a esposa em Londres. Bonnie, uma ex-boxeadora, trabalha como segurança em Los Angeles após uma derrota devastadora. Lucky, a mais nova, é modelo em Paris, enquanto tenta superar seu jeito festeiro. Por fim, Nicky, cuja morte inesperada deixou Avery, Bonnie e Lucky arrasadas, era, definitivamente, o elo que juntava essa complexa família. Um ano depois, enquanto cada uma enfrenta a dor da perda, o vício e a ambição, as irmãs voltam a Nova York para impedir a venda do apartamento onde foram criadas. Contudo, voltar para casa nunca é tão fácil quanto parece. À medida que as irmãs enfrentam as decepções de sua infância e a perda da única pessoa que as mantinha unidas, elas percebem que os maiores segredos que guardavam talvez não fossem uma da outra, mas sim delas mesmas. Construído com a combinação exclusiva de humor e emoção de Coco Mellors, As Irmãs Blue retrata o que é preciso para continuar vivendo depois de uma perda e, por fim, para se apaixonar pela vida novamente.

As irmãs Blue

Cleo, uma pintora inglesa de vinte e quatro anos, ainda está tentando encontrar o seu lugar na intensa Nova York, quando, alguns meses antes de seu visto de estudante vencer, conhece Frank. Vinte anos mais velho, o publicitário Frank tem uma vida repleta de todos os excessos que faltam à de Cleo. Ele oferece a ela a chance de ser feliz, a liberdade para pintar e a oportunidade de conquistar um visto permanente. Ela proporciona a Frank uma vida regada à beleza e à arte – e a esperança de ser uma razão para que ele coloque fim às bebedeiras. Mas o casamento por impulso muda a vida deles de forma irreversível, assim como a daqueles que estão próximos a eles, de uma maneira absolutamente imprevisível. Cada capítulo explora a vida de Cleo, Frank e de um elenco inesquecível de amigos e familiares mais próximos enquanto eles crescem e amadurecem. Cleópatra e Frankenstein é um romance de estreia surpreendente e dolorosamente factível sobre as decisões espontâneas que moldam toda a nossa vida e aqueles relacionamentos imperfeitos nascidos em noites tão perfeitas quanto inesperadas.
