Blue sisters
‘Een krachtig en menselijk verhaal.’ - Libelle De drie zussen Blue kunnen niet meer van elkaar verschillen. Avery, de oudste en ex-verslaafde die advocaat is geworden, woont met haar vrouw in Londen; Bonnie, een voormalig bokser, werkt als uitsmijter in Los Angeles en Lucky, de jongste, is model in Parijs. Er was ook een vierde zus, Nicky, wier onverwachte dood de fundamenten van het gezin heeft doen wankelen. Elke zus probeert Nicky’s dood op haar eigen manier te verwerken. Dan komen de zussen noodgedwongen voor het eerst weer samen in New York om de verkoop tegen te houden van het appartement waarin ze zijn opgegroeid. Maar het weerzien verloopt allesbehalve soepel. De enige persoon die hen bij elkaar hield is er niet meer, en de zussen moeten opnieuw uitvinden wie ze zijn en wat hen verbindt. Blue sisters is een warme roman over het leven na verlies en de onverbrekelijke band tussen zussen. ‘A beautiful, messy, love and grief-filled book.

Cleopatra e Frankenstein
Un romanzo sulle fibrillazioni dell'amore, su tutte quelle relazioni imperfette nate da serate inaspettatamente perfette e, soprattutto, su New York: una volta ancora sfrenata, eccessiva, meravigliosa, irraggiungibile. Cleo ha ventiquattro anni, fa la pittrice e da quando ha lasciato l'Inghilterra e si è trasferita a New York si imbuca a una festa dopo l'altra. Eppure, dietro le mille luci della Grande Mela, quella che conduce è un'esistenza solitaria, insonne, precaria, in cui il suo visto per studenti sta per scadere. Fino a quando, la notte di Capodanno, Cleo non incontra Frank nell'ascensore di un grattacielo. Il tempo della discesa e la miccia ha preso fuoco. Vent'anni più grande di lei, puro self-made man, Frank offre a Cleo la possibilità di essere felice, la libertà di dipingere e l'opportunità di richiedere una Green Card. Sei mesi dopo, al loro matrimonio ci sono amici stravaganti, pieni di sogni, ansie, disperazioni: dal migliore amico di Cleo, che nasconde la propria omosessualità ai genitori, alla sorella scapestrata di Frank, che cerca di trovare lo sugar daddy giusto per farsi mantenere. E proprio questo incontro tra universi così lontani porterà a un esito imprevedibilmente complesso e doloroso.

Le sorelle Blue
'Una sorella non è un'amica. Non ci si sceglie a vicenda, non ci si studia di nascosto per capire con chi si ha a che fare: ci si appartiene fin dal primo momento'. Le sorelle Blue hanno tre giorni per affrontare il vuoto che si è aperto tra loro. Tre giorni per litigare, prendersi cura l'una dell'altra, piangere e ridere. E arrivare, insieme, a capire meglio quel dolore. Avery è una avvocata che vive a Londra e dietro una vita apparentemente perfetta nasconde un segreto. Bonnie era una pugile ma dopo una sconfitta brutale ha dovuto smettere e forse deve lasciare Los Angeles. Lucky, la più giovane, fa la modella a Parigi. Poi c'era Nicky, la cui morte improvvisa ha devastato le sorelle. Adesso, riunite nell'appartamento che le ha viste crescere, le tre sorelle si ritrovano ad affrontare un evento che rischia di dividerle. E che, invece, finirà per unirle ancora di più.

Hermanas Blue, Las
The three Blue sisters are exceptional--and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest and a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced lawyer, lives with her wife in London; Bonnie, a former boxer, works as a bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating defeat; and Lucky, the youngest, models in Paris while trying to outrun her hard-partying ways. They also had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose unexpected death left the family reeling. A year later, as they each navigate grief, addiction, and ambition, they find they must return to New York to stop the sale of the apartment they were raised in. But coming home is never as easy as it seems. As the sisters reckon with the disappointments of their childhood and the loss of the only person who held them together, they realize that the greatest secrets they've been keeping might not have been from one another but from themselves. Imbued with Coco Mellors's signature combination of humor and heart, Blue Sisters is a story of what it takes to keep living after loss--and, ultimately, to fall in love with life again.

Cleopatra und 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 in 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.
