Lamb

LAMB (1980)

"Just  once in a while there comes a novel so moving  yet  simple that you put it down at the end feeling emotionally shattered. That was  my  reaction  to  Lamb, a  brilliant  first  novel  by  Bernard MacLaverty."

The Daily Express (5 June 1980)

"  The reader is drawn into an emotional affinity  rarely  achieved by serious writing in our time...."

Julia   O'Faolain  in  The  New  York  Times  Book  Review   (2nd November 1980)
