Cleopatra and Frankenstein - Portable Edition

"When the darkest part of you meets the darkest part of me, light is created."

New York is slipping through the fingers of Cleo, who fled England in search of her place in the city that never sleeps. Despite partying every night, she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out when she meets Frank, twenty years older, with a successful life and all the excesses Cleo lacks. He offers her the opportunity to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the chance to apply for a resident visa. She offers him a life imbued with beauty, art, and perhaps a reason to cut down on his alcohol consumption. He is everything she needs right now.

Cleo and Frank impulsively marry without foreseeing that this will irreversibly change both their lives and those of everyone around them, be it Cleo's best friend trying to understand their gender identity, or Frank's financially dependent sister who starts dating older men when she runs out of money, or even Cleo and Frank themselves, who are discovering the trials of marriage and mental illness.

Cleopatra and Frankenstein is a surprising and painfully touching debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our lives and the imperfect relationships born on unexpectedly perfect nights.
