Cleopatra y Frankenstein

Cleopatra y Frankenstein

Mellors, Coco

Nueva York se está escapando del alcance de Cleo. Sí, se pasa más de una noche a la semana en distintas fiestas, pero no conoce a nadie. Su visado de estudiante está a punto de expirar, y ni siquiera tiene dinero para comprar tabaco. Pero entonces conoce a Frank. Veinte años mayor que ella, la vida de Frank está llena del éxito y los excesos de los que la vida de Cleo carece. Él le ofrece la posibilidad de ser feliz, la libertad para pintar y la oportunidad de pedir un permiso de residencia. Ella le ofrece una vida repleta de belleza y arte y, con un poco de suerte, una razón para beber menos. Son todo lo que el otro necesita ahora mismo.Cleo y Frank se lanzan de cabeza a una relación a la que ninguno de los dos puede seguirle el ritmo, una relación que transforma sus vidas y las de quienes los rodean. Este encuentro casual entre dos extraños al salir de una fiesta de Nochevieja lo acaba cambiando todo, para bien o para mal.Cleopatra & Frankenstein es una novela debut impresionante y dolorosamente cercana sobre las decisiones espontáneas que transforman vidas enteras y sobre esas relaciones imperfectas que nacen de unas veladas perfectas e inesperadas.«Una novela de lo más humana: mordaz y tierna a partes iguales, que la señala como una de las pocas autoras cuyas frases son tan bellas como sabias. Una lectura inolvidable».Sam Lansky, autor de The Gilded Razor

Cleopatra and frankenstein

Cleopatra and frankenstein

Mellors, Coco

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.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.
