Synopsis
Three estranged siblings return to their family home in New York after their beloved sister's death in this unforgettable story of grief, identity, and the complexities of family.
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 Avery, Bonnie, and Lucky 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 the greatest secrets they've been keeping might not have been from each other, but from themselves.

Un roman qui explore les liens familiaux, le deuil et les traumatismes qu'il engendre. J'ai été touchée par l'écriture et le portrait de ces trois sœurs tâchant de vivre avec la perte de l'une d'elles
Juste excellent. Cela faisait longtemps qu'une lecture ne m'avait pas touchée à ce point. Blue Sisters est un livre bouleversant avec des personnages faillibles, mais très attachants. L'écriture de Coco Mellors est brute, sans filtre, mais incroyablement percutante. Je le recommande sans hésiter !
