The Lamb de Lucy Rose Resumen del Libro

The literary debut of 2025. A gripping, sinister folktale set in contemporary Cumbria, for fans of Sophie Mackintosh, Angela Carter, Daisy Johnson, Margaret Atwood and Julia Armfield. Pre-order now.

Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. Each morning, the school bus pulls her from the wild to a playground where the boys are mean. It is only Abbie, the girl with the green ribbon in her hair, who wants to be friends and to share secrets.

But Margot can't share her secrets with anyone. When she's not at school, Margot spends quiet days in the cottage with Mama, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. Then she satisfies her burning appetite by picking apart their bodies.

But Mama's want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, little Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires and make her own bid for freedom.

The Lamb is a folktale, a horror story, a love story, an enchantment. With this coming-of-age tale, debut novelist Lucy Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire and animal instincts - and wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.
