Two luminous, contemporary novels by Coco Mellors come together in this two-book collection. Blue Sisters follows Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky—three sisters whose exceptional talents unfold alongside equally distinct temperaments as they navigate life across major cities. Spanning London, Paris, and Los Angeles, the sisters reunite in New York after the death of their beloved fourth sister, confronting grief, addiction, ambition, and the stubborn bonds of family. Mellors grounds her storytelling in sharp, intimate character work, delivering a drama that is at once witty and piercingly honest. Cleopatra and Frankenstein, Mellors’ breakout debut, tracks Cleo in New York as she negotiates art, love, and an immigration reality that tests her choices.

What This Collection Covers:
This set delves into sisterhood, attraction, ambition, and the ways urban life shapes identity. Blue Sisters presents three sisters whose lives ripple across London, Paris, and Los Angeles before they return to a family home in New York amid grief and recovery. The novel weaves themes of addiction, resilience, and the complexities of loving family members who are not always easy to understand. Cleopatra and Frankenstein broadens the lens to a New York romance that navigates art, fame, and the pressure of immigration, illustrating how desire and ambition can collide with practical realities like visas and legal pathways. Taken together, the collection explores how love, friendship, and art bend under pressure, and how individuals find steadiness in a world that keeps changing.

Book-by-Book Guide:

Blue Sisters—Three sisters whose talents and temperaments set them apart navigate the pull of city life, family duty, and personal demons. Avery, the disciplined London-based lawyer; Bonnie, once a boxer now working as a LA bouncer after a crushing defeat; and Lucky, a Paris-based model with a fearless streak, each carry secrets that threaten to derail their carefully built lives. When they converge on New York following the death of their sister, old wounds reopen as they confront grief, addiction, ambition, and the enduring bond that keeps them tethered to one another. The novel blends sharp humor with raw emotional truth, offering a vivid, contemporary portrait of sisterhood in flux. This is a story about healing, loyalty, and the messy beauty of family ties that endure despite everything.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein—Cleo, a twenty-something British painter, arrives in New York with a life built on uncertain ground as her student visa nears expiration. She meets Frank, a successful man two decades older, and he offers happiness, art, and a possible pathway to legitimacy in America. The relationship unfolds amidst a city pulsing with possibility and risk, examining how love and art collide with immigration pressures and personal limits. Cleo’s journey unfolds with wit, ache, and a searching eye for beauty in a world that can be both glittering and unforgiving. The novel is a deft blend of romance, ambition, and self-discovery, exploring how one choice can alter a life’s direction and the cost of belonging.
