Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9780008623036 Publisher: Fourth Estate Overview: Blue Sisters is Coco Mellors' New York Times bestselling novel of three estranged siblings drawn back together by grief. Set between New York, London, Los Angeles and Paris, it follows Avery, Bonnie and Lucky in the year after the sudden death of their fourth sister, Nicky. Sharp, emotionally rich and beautifully observed, this is a story of addiction, ambition and the messy, enduring pull of family, from the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein. About the Book: The three surviving Blue sisters are exceptional, and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest, is a recovering heroin addict turned buttoned-up lawyer living a carefully controlled life in London. Bonnie, a former professional boxer, has retreated to Los Angeles to work as a bouncer after a defeat that cost her everything. Lucky, the youngest, is a model in Paris whose glamorous facade hides a spiralling reliance on drink and drugs. United once by their bond with their late sister Nicky, the three women have drifted into separate, guarded lives. When they must return together to their childhood home in New York to settle its sale, old wounds resurface alongside old loyalties. Mellors moves between the sisters' perspectives and cities with a novelist's eye for telling detail, capturing the specific textures of each woman's world while building toward a shared reckoning with loss. The novel doesn't shy away from difficult territory, addiction, grief, and the different ways people cope, but it handles these themes with warmth, humour and a refusal to sentimentalise. Fans of Mellors' debut, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, will recognise her gift for ensemble storytelling and her precise, propulsive prose, here turned toward a deeply felt portrait of sisterhood tested by tragedy and, ultimately, strengthened by it. New York Times bestseller from the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein. Multi-perspecti
