Madeline Cash

So I actually suggested we read Animal Farm, but no one in book club liked that.

So I went and did a lot of research and I actually found a book called Lost Lambs written by Madeleine Cash and I came across it because Dua Lipa had chosen it for her book club and when I started looking into it I thought this is good it's bang up to date it is got lots of different topics to be covered and actually when I started reading it it's really made me laugh so it's been a good book I'm looking forward to discussing that at the end of the month so I've been watching Fleabag and reading Lost Lambs by Madeleine Cash

For me, I have been down lots of different avenues, but I just want to say if it's good enough for Dua Lipa's book club, your book is definitely good enough for any book club.

No, so I have been watching, I watched Sense and Sensibility, but like the original film the other day.

I immediately dropped it on the floor.

But I am about to read Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash.

I have had several people tell me it's very, very, several comedy people tell me it's very, very funny.

And then I've had like people who read it more as a literary book, literary readers say they didn't think it was funny at all.

Some of them are coming out soon, though, so that's exciting.

First, I'm going to tell you what I've been reading, starting with Earth Angel Stories by Madeline Cash, which comes out on October 27th.

This was previously published in 2023.

In fact, it won the 2023 Pencraft Fiction Award.

Damn

... selling really well, but it's, a similar thing happened to, um, Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash-

Mm-hmm

... where it's like publishers have basically no faith in a literary fiction release to do anything.

So he's making the noise.

So I'm reading Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash.

He then turns to me, oh, what's that book? I was like, oh.

my face immediately.

No one except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy, one that may just bring them closer together.

Irreverent and addictive, pinging between the voices of the Flynn family and those of the panorama of characters around them, Madeline Cash's Lost Lambs is a debut novel of quick-witted observation and surprising tenderness.

With Lost Lambs, Cash has crafted a family saga for the 21st century, all held together with crazy glue.

It's a weird joke.

Yeah.

But it

also sent me down this sort of rabbit hole of realizing that Madeline Cash is, like, a part of the, like, dime square literary movement.

Ooh,

I need to look up the author's name.

Um, Madeline Cash.

Mm-hmm.

That's it.
