About the Books:
On the surface, Cleopatra and Frankenstein follows Cleo, an aspiring artist with a keen eye for life’s textures, and Frank, a man whose warmth hides a long struggle with addiction. Their chance meeting at a New Year’s Eve party sparks a whirlwind marriage that astonishes friends and shatters routines. Mellors writes with sly, intimate humor that makes even painful scenes feel personal. The narrative moves through late-night conversations, city lights, and quiet mornings, exposing how love can heal while it can complicate. The novel’s rhythm blends humor with raw vulnerability, offering a mirror for readers’ own habits, hopes, and vulnerabilities. It is a tour through urban desire, family dynamics, and the choices that shape a life. Cleo’s artistic voice and Frank’s candid self-scrutiny create a dual perspective that invites empathy rather than judgment. While some readers will recognize the pull of new love, others will notice the quiet ache of addiction and the stubborn, sometimes hopeful, path to self-acceptance. The book’s tone oscillates between witty, observant prose and searing, honest confessions, making it accessible to devoted literary fiction readers and fans of contemporary, character-driven stories. This is a novel that rewards rereading, offering new shades of meaning with each revisit, and it positions Mellors as a distinctive voice in contemporary fiction.
