Three estranged siblings return to their family home in New York after their beloved sister’s death in this “deeply nuanced and compelling” (Vogue) novel, from the acclaimed author of Cleopatra and Frankenstein.

“A beautiful portrait of grief and the world-shaping bond sisters share.”—Real Simple

The three Blue sisters are exceptional—and exceptionally different. Avery, the eldest and a recovering heroin addict turned strait-laced lawyer, lives with her wife in London; Bonnie, a former boxer, works as a bouncer in Los Angeles following a devastating defeat; and Lucky, the youngest, models in Paris while trying to outrun her hard-partying ways. They also had a fourth sister, Nicky, whose unexpected death left the family reeling. A year later, as they each navigate grief, addiction, and ambition, they find they must return to New York to stop the sale of the apartment they were raised in.

But coming home is never as easy as it seems. As the sisters reckon with the disappointments of their childhood and the loss of the only person who held them together, they realize that the greatest secrets they’ve been keeping might not have been from one another but from themselves.

Imbued with Coco Mellors’s signature combination of humor and heart, Blue Sisters is a story of what it takes to keep living after loss—and, ultimately, to fall in love with life again.

Ik denk zelfs 4,5 sterren!! Heel mooi boek over de dynamiek tussen zussen en ieders manier van het verwerken van rouw. Daarnaast gaf het, zeker bij Lucky, echt brat summer vibes en daardoor een heerlijk boek om te lezen.

Wow this was so sad and inspiring and heartfelt and amazing. I loved every second of it. I don't have any sisters but through reading this, I could feel what it's like to have a love as strong as sisters do. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.
