A stunning exploration of sisterhood and grief, addiction and recovery, pain and pleasure.’
– Tess Gunty

In her stunning sophomore novel, three exceptional and exceptionally different sisters come together to confront the only certain thing in life other than taxes – death. After making a splash with her debut Cleopatra and Frankenstein, bestselling author Coco Mellors returns with a gut-wrenching story of pain, pleasure, sisterhood, and the true colour of grief in Blue Sisters.

Sisters Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky are left reeling when their beloved fourth sister, Nicky, unexpectedly dies; but when they must reunite a year later to save their childhood home, they find that grief is not an ocean to be sailed alone. Deftly navigating the difficult realities of grief, addiction, and heartbreak, Coco Mellors’ newest is an ode to feeling and family.

Coco Mellors grew up in London and New York, where she received her MFA in fiction from New York University. Her first novel, Cleopatra and Frankenstein, was a Sunday Times bestseller, has been translated into over twenty languages, and is currently being adapted for television.
