Coco Mellors has the unique gift of making the picturesque, almost WesAnderson–chic Blue sisters feel viscerally real, and it is a pleasure to be in their world even as they struggle with difficult things: grief, addiction, and generational trauma. In prose that is at times transcendently beautiful, Mellors has painted a portrait of sisterhood in all its pettiness and messiness and beauty and grace. It’s stunning.
