SYNOPSIS
READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY
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
A VOGUE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
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.

Blue Sisters conta-nos a história de 3 irmãs que navegam pelo processo de luto após a perda de Nicky, a 4ª irmã Blue. É uma história devastadora e real, repleta de sentimentos fortes que nos envolvem na narrativa. Cada irmã tem uma maneira diferente de encarar o mundo e a morte, o que torna todo este livro intrigante, especialmente para os mais curiosos no processo de luto.
Vidas invejáveis, não tão perfeitas
CS
Um livro que promove a reflexão sobre como é que vidas de aparente sucesso, podem estar assentes em bases frágeis e com muitas feridas e de como uma situação inesperada, de uma morte, as pode reabrir e repensar o trajeto da vida de três irmãs. Escrita maravilhosa, atual, com humor, mas com profundidade.
