Reviews
" Cleopatra and Frankenstein , the luminous debut novel from Coco Mellors, is a book about many things: It's a great, swooning love story; a shattering depiction of how addiction and mental illness warp our lives; and a perceptive, witty portrait of globalized New York. But most of all, Mellors has written a devastatingly human book, at turns sharp and tender, that marks her as the rare writer whose sentences are as beautiful as they are wise. An unforgettable read." -- Sam Lansky, author of THE GILDED RAZOR and BROKEN PEOPLE "I was in the thrall of this ambitious, surprising novel from the very first page. With razor-sharp dialogue, a keen eye for detail, and a cast of unforgettable characters, Cleopatra and Frankenstein untangles the mess of hope and heartache that love too often leaves in its wake. It's an astounding debut by a wise, assured writer. I can't wait to see what Coco Mellors conjures up next." -- Grant Ginder, author of THE PEOPLE WE HATE AT THE WEDDING "A character driven epic thoroughly engrossing and entirely magnificent. It is thrilling to read a book that articles with nuance and compassion the way gender impacts every part of our lives. Sometimes you can just tell that a debut novel has been percolating and perfecting inside an author's mind until it is ready to leap into-and ultimately change-the world." -- Adam Eli, author of THE NEW QUEER CONSCIENCE "A heart-stopping, page-turning, romantic saga rendered with uncommon depth and nuance. Mellors has created a couple that feels achingly real; the passionate fire that fuels their marriage is the same blaze that threatens to burn it to the ground. But the book smartly expands its lens beyond just husband and wife, and examines how one relationship can have a global impact on an entire network of loved ones. Cleopatra and Frankenstein will ensnare you with its irresistible wit, surprise you with its powerful insight, and enthrall you with its kaleidoscopic portrait of one great love affair." -- Jonathan Parks-Ramage, author of YES, DADDY, "An irresistible, un-put-downable, page-turner of a novel. A love letter to New York, a love letter to love, Cleopatra and Frankenstein is a complex, funny, deeply-felt, beautifully written debut." -- Nathan Englander, author of WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK and KADISH.COM " Cleopatra and Frankenstein , the luminous debut novel from Coco Mellors, is a book about many things: It's a great, swooning love story; a shattering depiction of how addiction and mental illness warp our lives; and a perceptive, witty portrait of globalized New York.

Masterfully told through multiple voices, Cleopatra and Frankenstein offers an intimate glimpse of a marriage marred by alcoholism and mental illness. Mellors' real genius lies in her ability to render the pervasive damage wrought by those suffering from addiction, trauma, and mental illness with enough compassion that readers will find themselves rooting for each of the characters, firmly invested in their ability to wrest recovery and hope from the wreckage. Mellors' brilliantly crafted story and unforgettable characters offer unvarnished insight into the very heart of what it means to be human. I will be pressing this book into all my friends' hands ." -- Christie Tate, New York Times bestselling author of GROUP "A character driven epic thoroughly engrossing and entirely magnificent.
