About this Event

We are excited to welcome Lucy Rose to Waterstones Nottingham to celebrate the release of her debut novel, The Lamb.


A folk tale. A horror story. A love story. An enchantment.

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. 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 a bid for freedom.

With this tender 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.


Lucy will discuss her debut novel before an audience Q&A and book signing.


Lucy Rose is an author and award-winning filmmaker with an interest in gothic, girlhood, horror, and literary fiction. Her short fiction and nonfiction have been published in Dread Central, Mslexia, and more. Lucy’s forthcoming debut novel, The Lamb is forthcoming from W&N Books (UK) and Harper (US).
