This season, after a warm welcome to the writing world with her debut novel Cleopatra and Frankenstein, Coco Mellors launched her sophomore work, Blue Sisters. Mellors maintains her focus on intimacy and strained bonds as she transitions from the marriage story in Cleopatra and Frankenstein to sibling dynamics in Blue Sisters. The novel follows three sisters, Avery, Bonnie and Lucky, as they come together after the death of their sister, Nicky, to pack up their Upper West Side childhood home. Sisterhood is the axis on which the novel rotates, but romance, addiction, parental relationships and grief are key components of the composition.
