The Lamb

The stray that changed everything was called Eden. She found us in the heart of a snowstorm. Margot and Mama have lived by a forest since Margot can remember. Together, they take in strays and eat them, but everything changes when Mama falls in love with a stray. Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, break the cycle of abuse and untangle the complex facets of how women are forged into weapons. This story uses cannibalism to dissect how women must swallow their anger, desire, and animal instincts. The Lamb. is a contemporary folktale soaked in the shadows of cannibalism, motherhood, queerness, belonging and first love. With this dark and breathless debut, Lucy Rose wrings the relationship between mother and daughter until blood drips from it.
