Cleopatra And Frankenstein
by Coco Mellors
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A compelling exploration of modern love and its complexities through the story of Cleo and Frank, an unlikely couple whose whirlwind romance leads to an impulsive marriage. Set against the backdrop of New York City's vibrant art scene, the narrative delves into themes of cultural displacement, addiction, and mental health with lyrical prose and keen insight. While the pacing can be uneven at times, Mellors excels in crafting nuanced, flawed characters whose decisions ripple through their social circles, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected lives. "Cleopatra and Frankenstein" is a promising debut that showcases Mellors' talent for dissecting the intricacies of relationships and the human psyche in contemporary society.

Though at times long winded and repetitive, this book is a good read for anyone interested in crime writing. Giving insights from masters of the art, it's worth reading through even if you aren't essentially interested in crime writing itself, but writing in general.
