Resumen del Editor
Bloomsbury presents Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors, read by Kit Griffiths.
For fans 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.
Twenty-four-year-old British painter Cleo has escaped from England to New York and is still finding her place in the sleepless city when, a few months before her student visa ends, she meets Frank. Twenty years older and a self-made success, Frank’s life is full of all the excesses Cleo’s lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint and the opportunity to apply for a green card. But their impulsive marriage irreversibly changes both their lives and the lives of those close to them, in ways they never could’ve predicted.
Each thoroughly enjoyable chapter explores the lives of Cleo, Frank and an unforgettable cast of their closest friends and family as they grow up and grow older. Whether it’s Cleo’s best friend struggling to embrace his gender queerness in the wake of Cleo’s marriage, or Frank’s financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates to support herself after being cut off, or Cleo and Frank themselves as they discover the trials of marriage and mental illness, each character is as absorbing, and painfully relatable, as the last.
As hilarious as it is heart-breaking, entertaining as it is deeply moving, Cleopatra and Frankenstein marks the entry of a brilliant and bold new talent.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"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)
"Mellors dissects the tumultuous relationship between two magnetic and damaged people...an enticing aura glows at this work’s heart." (Publishers Weekly)

Historia
Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

Eine absolut süchtig machende New-York-Romanze, herzzerreißend und beglückend zugleich - und ein ungewöhnlich reifer Debütroman.

She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate; she works an easy job at a hip art gallery and lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong?

After a brief, all-consuming romance, he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her.

Sheena Patel’s incandescent first novel begins with the unnamed narrator describing her involvement in a seemingly unequal romantic relationship. With a clear and unforgiving eye, she dissects the behavior of all involved, herself included, and makes startling connections between the power struggles at the heart of human relationships and those of the wider world. I’m a Fan offers a devastating critique of class, social media, patriarchy’s hold on us, and our cultural obsession with status and how that status is conveyed.

Laura is a nurse in a paediatric unit. On long, quiet shifts, she and her colleagues, clad in their different shades of blue, care for sick babies, handling their exquisitely frangible bodies, carefully calibrating the mysterious machines that keep them alive. Laura may be burned out. Her hands have been raw from washing as long as she can remember. When she sleeps, she dreams of water; when she wakes, she finds herself lying next to a man who doesn't love her any more. And there is a strange figure dancing in the corner of her vision, always just beyond her reach.

Aurelle Taylor, daughter of a world-famous fashion designer, becomes the closest friend of burgeoning painter Diana Martin; they have bonded over a mutual desire to escape their wealthy families and personal tragedies and begin new lives as students at RBU.

Nina Dean is not especially bothered that she's single. She owns her own apartment, she's about to publish her second book, she has a great relationship with her ex-boyfriend, and enough friends to keep her social calendar full and her hangovers plentiful. And when she downloads a dating app, she does the seemingly impossible: She meets a great guy on her first date. Max is handsome and built like a lumberjack; he has floppy blond hair and a stable job. But more surprising than anything else, Nina and Max have chemistry.

Sparkling debut
I feel awful for this poor narrator. She was annoying me a lot in the beginning but then I realized something. She has to speak Spanish, French, Italian and switch back and forth from her lovely British accent to American english. So yeah... She did a fantastic job overall. What a moving and tender story. Some POVs are way more compelling than others but I enjoyed the whole thing. Cleo is the best part. Frank can die for all I care. And Eleanor is just boring as hell. Zoe and Quentin disappear suddenly and this was very jarring. Why have their POV if they just disappear?

How to end a marriage
This amazing book was a roller coaster ride. I often felt my heart race for Cleo and Frank due to their circumstances

Good not great
I enjoyed the narration very much. The story did loop me in after a while but I thought there was a bit too many sensational bits. I don’t consider my self prudish around descriptions of sex and drugs but there were times here where I thought “enough already.” But, when it ended I wished I could know more about how the characters’ lives went from there. To me, that is an important mark of a good story.

Beautiful and bittersweet
Such a beautiful story. It made me laugh, cry, and think about my own life and relationships I’ve had. Exceeded expectations. This book will definitely stick with me long after I finished it. 10000% worth a credit!

Not bad
The author is talented but the story was a bit overwrought. Most of the characters were unlikeable and self-centered, which doesn't bother me at all. I found Cleo--a beautiful, tormented artist/man magnet (of course)--particularly annoying. Her attempted suicide was very oddly plotted (a pun but not a pun) and not believable. The only redeeming characters are Eleanor and her mom.
I agree with the other reviewer about the narrator's performance. The various, uneven, and affected accents were distracting and didn't do a thing to present the story in the best light.

I almost loved this
Im binging books about toxic relationships…probably bc I find them so relatable. This started out promising but a few things ruined it for me.
The narrator kept throwing me off with her inconsistent accents. There’s the born and raised New Yorker, an English woman, a Dutchman, a woman from Jersey, a Peruvian chef, etc. Lots of characters who in my mind would have unique accents and for a few sentences they do, then she just randomly loses the accents. I’d forget who’s talking as it goes back and forth between multiple characters throughout. Something like that usually isn’t that big of a deal to me but it got distracting here.
There were also alot of jabs at white people for some reason. It’s like Mellors was jumping for any excuse to throw in a ‘white people bad’, ‘white men bad’, ‘white women bad’, ‘old dead white men bad’… Okay White as Snow Author we get it, you don’t like white people. Got it. Does that have anything to do with the story? Nope. Frank and Cleo are both white, but they could’ve been brown or black. Their race isn’t impactful to the story. I’m not one of those people who believe authors aren’t supposed to write with their political or ideological opinions on display in fiction. It just serves no point here. There’s no moment where a list of grievances is made about white people or any indication of why the author believes white people to be bad. ‘White people bad’ is trendy in current social discourse now and it feels like Mellors just wanted to be ‘cool girl writer’ and sprinkle that throughout the book. ‘Look at me being a cool woke white woman calling out my fellow whites but offering nothing to the discourse other than my popular opinion’.
I mean if you wanna be blatantly racist then gives us the tea. Don’t chicken out. Mellors definitely did on this one.
I got so bored towards the end I’ve had to go back three times to make sure I actually know where it ended. All in all, it could’ve sucked less.

Aggravating but it gets better
All the ups and downs experienced in a dysfunctional relationship. We’ve all been there and it’s not easy to relive. I’ve wanted to put this down and even fast forwarded during what I thought were tangents. The redeemed what annoyed me in the middle

So good!
Quite literally amazing. If you liked “normal people,” “everything I know about love,” and the like- this is a must read!

Very now New York
I like the young vibe of this book and a deeper understanding for me of the younger generation which I thought was very authentic.
