Coco Mellors: Cleopatra & Frankenstein and Blue Sisters
Coco Mellors is the author of two novels, and her love of her craft is just infectious. Her debut, Cleopatra and Frankenstein exploded onto the literary scene in 2022, documenting one couple’s impulsive marriage in New York City and the ripple effect it has on their close circle of friends. Everyone is reading and loving this book, even Carrie Bradshaw who is spotted reading it one scene in And Just Like That. Truly, the highest literary honour. Coco’s second novel, Blue Sisters, was published in 2024. It’s about three sisters who reconnect in their childhood home after their fourth sister has sadly passed away. It takes place across London, New York, Paris, and LA, and tackles themes of grief, sisterhood, and addiction.

Book Club: Oisín McKenna, Evenings and Weekends
Evenings and Weekends is a love story to London, a portrait of a city with a vibrant ensemble cast of characters. Everyone is facing a dilemma, and their lives collde during a sweltering heatwave where everyone feels a little... too close. But there are no villains -- instead, it's an exercise in empathy. Oh, and there's a whale stuck in the Thames.
Jack Edwards chats to Irish author Oisín McKenna about his dazzling debut, in this inaugural Inklings Book Club meeting.
