Description

"Para lectores de Modern Lovers y Conversations with Friends, una novela debut adictiva, humorística y conmovedora sobre las ondas de choque causadas por el matrimonio impulsivo de una pareja. La pintora británica de veinticuatro años Cleo ha escapado de Inglaterra a Nueva York y todavía está encontrando su lugar en la ciudad insomne cuando, unos meses antes de que finalice su visa de estudiante, conoce a Frank. Veinte años mayor y un éxito hecho a sí mismo, la vida de Frank está llena de todos los excesos que le faltan a Cleo. Él le ofrece la oportunidad de ser feliz, la libertad de pintar y la oportunidad de solicitar una tarjeta verde. Pero su matrimonio impulsivo cambia irreversiblemente tanto sus vidas como las vidas de sus allegados, de maneras que nunca podrían haber previsto. Cada capítulo de lectura compulsiva explora las vidas de Cleo, Frank y un elenco inolvidable de sus amigos y familiares más cercanos a medida que crecen y envejecen. Ya sea el mejor amigo de Cleo que lucha por abrazar su género queer a raíz del matrimonio de Cleo, o la hermana financieramente dependiente de Frank que organiza citas con sugar daddy para mantenerse después de ser cortada, o Cleo y Frank ellos mismos mientras descubren las pruebas del matrimonio y la enfermedad mental. , cada personaje es tan absorbente y dolorosamente identificable como el anterior. Tan divertido como desgarrador" (publisher)
"For readers of Modern Lovers and Conversations with Friends, an addictive, humorous, and poignant debut novel about the shock waves caused by one couple's impulsive marriage. Twenty-four-year-old British painter Cleo has escaped from England to New Yorkand is still finding her place in the sleepless city when, a few months before her student visa ends, she meets Frank. Twenty years older and a self-made success, Frank's life is full of all the excesses Cleo's lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy,the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a Green Card. But their impulsive marriage irreversibly changes both their lives, and the lives of those close to them, in ways they never could've predicted. Each compulsively readable chapter explores the lives of Cleo, Frank, and an unforgettable cast of their closest friends and family as they grow up and grow older. Whether it's Cleo's best friend struggling to embrace his gender queerness in the wake of Cleo's marriage, or Frank's financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates to support herself after being cut off, or Cleo and Frank themselves as they discover the trials of marriage and mental illness, each character is as absorbing, and painfully relatable, as the last. As hilariousas it is heartbreaking, entertaining as it is deeply moving, Cleopatra and Frankenstein marks the entry of a brilliant and bold new talent"--
