LAMB (NOVEL) (WEIDENFELD & NICOLSON) (HB)

Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. When Margot isn’t at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. 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 and when a stray named Eden turns up, little Margot must confront the dynamics of her family, untangle her desires and make a bid for freedom.
