Cleopatra and Frankenstein

Twenty-four-year-old British painter Cleo goes to New York and is still looking for her place in the city that never sleeps – until a few months before her student visa expires, she meets Frank, a man twenty years older and self-made. His life is full of excesses – unlike Cleo's life.
This chance encounter between two strangers outside a New Year's Eve party changes everything, for better or for worse. He offers her a chance at happiness, the freedom to paint, and the possibility of applying for a green card. She offers him a daily life full of beauty and art – and, perhaps, a reason to cut back on drinking. But their impulsive marriage dramatically changes their lives, as well as the lives of those close to them, in ways neither of them had foreseen.
A stunning book about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and about those imperfect relationships that are born from unexpectedly perfect nights.
