Blue Sisters

Description

The Sunday Times and global bestselling phenomenon! From Coco Mellors, the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein, comes Blue Sisters—a deeply moving, beautiful, and unforgettable novel about sisterhood, grief, identity, and the intricate complexities of family. Taking BookTok and the literary world by storm, this witty and emotionally raw contemporary story delivers an exquisite, close-up look at how we heal from loss and find our way back home.

The three remaining Blue sisters are exceptional—and exceptionally different from one another. Avery, the eldest, is a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced corporate lawyer living a structured life with her wife in London. Bonnie, a former professional boxer, works as a gritty nightclub bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating, career-ending defeat in the ring. And Lucky, the youngest, is a high-fashion model in Paris, desperately trying to outrun her destructive, hard-partying ways. They also once had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose sudden, unexpected death left all three of them completely shattered and reeling in isolation.

A year later, as each sister intensely navigates her own private battle with grief, addiction, and ambition across different corners of the globe, their lives collide once more. They find they must reluctantly return to New York City to stop the imminent sale of the beloved, chaotic apartment they were raised in.

But coming back home is never as easy as it seems. As the estranged sisters gather under one roof to reckon with the bitter disappointments of their childhood and the profound loss of Nicky—the only person who truly held them together—they quickly realize a painful truth. The greatest, most dangerous secrets they have been keeping might not have been hidden from each other, but entirely from themselves.

Masterfully executing the family saga, sisterhood dynamics, emotional healing, and grief-recovery tropes, Blue Sisters delivers a lush, character-driven narrative packed with Coco Mellors’ signature sharp observations, brilliant dialogue, and a powerful message about unconditional love.
