“Den hotteste nye bog” – en SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER”Øm, bevægende og morsom” – Pandora Sykes“Pirrende … filmisk … [Mellors] har skrevet nogle formidable sætninger og demonstrerer en stor sans for dialog.” – Los Angeles TimesNew York City. Et tilfældigt, halvberuset møde nytårsaften ender med at ændre Cleo og Frank på måder, ingen af dem nogensinde havde forestillet sig. Cleo er en ung kunstnerspire, der bor i New York og er til en ny fest hver aften, men hun kender nærmest ingen mennesker. Hun bliver snart smidt hjem til England, og hun har ikke engang råd til cigaretter. Indtil hun møder Frank. Han er tyve år ældre end hende og lever det succesrige luksusliv, Cleo savner. Han kan give hende lykke, økonomisk frihed og permanent opholdstilladelse. Hun kan give ham skønhed og forhåbentlig en grund til at stoppe med at drikke så meget. Cleo og Frank indleder en hæsblæsende kærlighedsaffære, der slår dem begge omkuld og berører alle omkring dem: Cleos vilde bedsteven, der ikke helt vil give slip på hende, Franks søster, der må sugardate for at betale regningerne, og Cleo og Franks lille kæleegern, Jesus. COCO MELLORS er født i London, men har siden teenagealderen boet i USA. CLEOPATRA OG FRANKENSTEIN er Coco Mellors debut­roman og udkom til strålende anmeldelser.
