By Coco Mellors
For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant
debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple's impulsive marriage.
‘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.
