Anotace knihy

The funny and compassionate new literary novel that turns family dysfunction into an art form.

'A voice like no other' Lena Dunham, award-winning writer, director and creator of comedy-drama Girls

'Loud, hilarious, shocking and sensitive' Megan Nolan, prize-listed author of Acts of Desperation

'You finish the book with the kind of smile on your face that contemporary fiction rarely leaves you with. Lost Lambs is a perky, fiendishly readable debut.' Financial Times

For the three Flynn daughters, it's been disastrous since their parents opened up their marriage. Abigail, the eldest, is dating an ex-soldier several years her senior nicknamed 'War Crimes Wes'. Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist. And the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to a wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone - or something - is monitoring the town's citizens.

Casting a shadow across their lives is Paul Alabaster, a nefarious local billionaire. Rumours of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with Alabaster's machinations sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy - one that may just, finally, bring them closer together.

Rippling with humour, warmth and style, Lost Lambs turns family dysfunction into an art form.


Praise for Lost Lambs:

'A great, great American novel' Samantha Hunt, Women's Prize longlisted author of The Seas

'A dazzling and singular new voice in literary fiction... Loud, hilarious, shocking, and sensitive' Megan Nolan, award-winning author of Ordinary Human Failings

'With a big surge of energy, Lost Lambs splits the nucleus of the American family' Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection - National Book Award Finalist

'Madeline Cash is a humourist in the darkly humanist tradition of George Saunders and Lorrie Moore, of Vonnegut and Twain' Tim Kreider, author of We Learn Nothing

'Immersive and propulsive and I never wanted it to end. I can't remember the last time a novel made me laugh so hard or feel so much tenderness for its characters... I loved it. I devoured it' Leslie Jamison, author of Splinters
