Review Quotes:

"Delightfully cracked . . . a winning mixture of black comedy and innocent sweetness." --Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal

 

"Cash paints the alternate world of Lost Lambs in vivid, breezy prose alight with casual wit . . . a gutsy, big-hearted romp that's unusual even for a first-time novelist . . . With her energetic prose and restless imagination, Cash does one better than survey the world; she reinvents it." --Hannah Gold, The New Yorker

"The comic novel we need right now . . . Cash's tone . . . hums a melody of deep-seated compassion and straight-faced absurdity . . . It's a tableau of family affection that cedes none of her characters' adorable freakishness and reminds us how good it feels to be found." --Ron Charles, The Washington Post

"Madcap . . . a story that is part quirky crime caper, part manic cultural satire and part affectionate dramedy of family both biological and found." --John Maher, The New York Times

"Riotously assured . . . [Cash] brings to mind writers as disparate as Lydia Millet, Thomas Pynchon, and Jonathan Franzen . . . With her debut novel, Cash has announced herself as a writer with a distinctive voice, an eye for the grotesque within the mundane, and a deep skepticism of the stories that behemoth institutions tell to justify themselves." --Rhoda Feng, The Boston Globe

 

" Lost Lambs is an incredibly tender -- yet also hilarious -- debut. Madeline Cash explores adolescence, faith, family, and power through the lens of a tightly controlled religious community, where devotion and vulnerability exist side by side. With wildly inventive writing, Lost Lambs captures moral uncertainty and emotional awakening with remarkable precision. This novel marks the emergence of an incredible new talent in Madeline Cash." --Isaac Fitzgerald, Today Show

"Cash's virtuosic wit allows her to warm hearts at the same time as satirizing the world . . . in an age when the conspiracy theorists do indeed turn out to be disturbingly right as well as disturbingly wrong, and when old-fashioned tenderness and laughter are ever more required, Cash is a happy and energizing new voice." --Lara Feigel, The Guardian

"Energetic, hilarious, and spirited, this debut novel from the co-founder of Forever Magazine was already the talk of the town last summer and fall. Like Franzen before her, Cash illuminates the inner workings of a modern family . . . Lost Lambs takes a thrillingly big swing and delivers a page-turner as full of snark as it is anchored in affection." --Jasmine Vojdani, Vulture

 

"A beautifully calibrated high-wire act, a big-hearted family drama with a mystery plot nestled within . . . enchanting, poignant, and often very funny, the product of a strikingly original new voice in American fiction." --Marc Weingarten, Los Angeles Times

 

"A swirling mix of coming of age, family drama, and intriguing thriller, Lost Lambs tells the story of the Flynn family and the universe of relationships that orbits it. All of the members of the family--Bud, Catherine, and their three daughters--are personalities worthy of their own book, but Cash deftly weaves their story into one rollicking, clever, and heartrending read." --Harper's Bazaar

"Cash has managed to cram all the goof and melodrama of an action film/coming-of-age high-school romcom into crisp, polished prose . . . It's as if a Virago novel of the 1960s or '70s -- sharp, characterful, gorgeously written -- were laced with the pills, vape juice and shadowy plutocracies of 21st-century America . . . 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. Cash's career is surely blossoming before her." --Magnus Rena, Financial Times

"Refreshing [and] confident . . . In [Madeline Cash's] hands, cultivating counter-ideologies is a way for the vulnerable to hone their intuition, to trust themselves . . . like a good conspiracy theory, [ Lost Lambs] offers something to think about and more than a few laughs besides." --Niela Orr, Vulture

"Decades after the turn-of-the-century heyday of hysterical realism, Cash may be pioneering a new mode for this moment: Call it optimism-pilled manic-pixie-paranoid-realism spiced with the sacred . . . both hyper-contemporary and nostalgic, almost like a traditional family novel written by someone steeped in the narrative structure of multi-player video games." --Emmeline Clein, Cultured

 

"A 21st-century family saga with comic timing and the moral unease of a crime story. Its humor is quick and irreverent, often veering into slapstick, yet it never loses sight of the tenderness that binds its characters together." --Hannah Tishkoff, Los Angeles Review of Books

 

"This sparkling debut is a true tour de force: unexpected, entertaining and genuinely funny . . . the most wildly original book of the year." --Marie-Claire Chappet, Harper's Bazaar (UK)
