Acerca de esta escucha

Bloomsbury presents Cleopatra and Frankenstein by Coco Mellors, read by Kit Griffiths.

The smash National bestseller and Goodreads Choice Award finalist—perfect for listeners 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 York and 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 listenable 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 hilarious as it is heartbreaking, entertaining as it is deeply moving, Cleopatra and Frankenstein marks the entry of a brilliant and bold new talent.

How to end a marriage

This amazing book was a roller coaster ride. I often felt my heart race for Cleo and Frank due to their circumstances

Sparkling debut

I feel awful for this poor narrator. She was annoying me a lot in the beginning but then I realized something. She has to speak Spanish, French, Italian and switch back and forth from her lovely British accent to American english. So yeah... She did a fantastic job overall. What a moving and tender story. Some POVs are way more compelling than others but I enjoyed the whole thing. Cleo is the best part. Frank can die for all I care. And Eleanor is just boring as hell. Zoe and Quentin disappear suddenly and this was very jarring. Why have their POV if they just disappear?

Good not great

I enjoyed the narration very much. The story did loop me in after a while but I thought there was a bit too many sensational bits. I don’t consider my self prudish around descriptions of sex and drugs but there were times here where I thought “enough already.” But, when it ended I wished I could know more about how the characters’ lives went from there. To me, that is an important mark of a good story.

Beautiful and bittersweet

Such a beautiful story. It made me laugh, cry, and think about my own life and relationships I’ve had. Exceeded expectations. This book will definitely stick with me long after I finished it. 10000% worth a credit!

Not bad

The author is talented but the story was a bit overwrought. Most of the characters were unlikeable and self-centered, which doesn't bother me at all. I found Cleo--a beautiful, tormented artist/man magnet (of course)--particularly annoying. Her attempted suicide was very oddly plotted (a pun but not a pun) and not believable. The only redeeming characters are Eleanor and her mom.

I agree with the other reviewer about the narrator's performance. The various, uneven, and affected accents were distracting and didn't do a thing to present the story in the best light.

Favorite book of 2022 so far

The narration was phenomenal!


I loved this book. The type of book that I didn’t want to finish. The type of book I took my time with because I knew I would miss the characters. The highly relatable, highly dysfunctional, openly human characters.

This is a book about relating, in all aspects. A book about relationships and the secret innuendos, the nuances that come with relating - the secret lives, that two people live together when no one else is watching. The intimacies, the disappointments, the violences, the betrayals, the joint vices, the affections, the sex. The painful things we endure together, as units + the growth we endure. Painted with vivid imagery. Coco Mellors is an inspiration.

I held this book close to my heart. The act of relating is the most human thing we’ve got and so is making art about it, so this is quickly how I fell in love Cleopatra and Frankenstein

Topical. And entertaining

Mostly liked it , I would have enjoyed deeper ideas. Very well written descriptions. Rich kids with substance abuse and and act like victims.

Shocking at times, but beautifully told.

Loved the themes, always enjoy underlying bird references. Interesting expose on gen z in NYC, if only a small sliver of the generation with notable privilege. Covered a lot of ground, no perfect ending, but reflective and funny.
