Bonnie Nadzam Press Reviews
'A devastatingly convincing portrait of abuse ... Add in pitch-perfect dialogue and this utterly assured, high stakes, high-wire act of a novel is proof that Nadzam is a very special talent indeed.' Daily Mail
'This daring, disturbing first novel imagines the friendship of a child and an older man. [and] flirts with the possibility that such relationships might not always have dire consequences . This is a fiction of striking distinction.' Independent
'Nadzam reveals Lamb: a damaged, destructive man . a haunting creation, to be both pitied and despised.' Sunday Telegraph
'This is a brilliantly unsettling read that casts a dark, manipulative spell - particularly against the gorgeously described backdrop of the American West.' Marie Claire
'Bonnie Nadzam manages to write gorgeous prose about people and skies and mountains while still creating tension and suspense on the level of a thriller ... Lamb is a remarkable debut by a writer to watch. I will be thinking about these characters for a long time. -- Aimee Bender, Author Of The Particular Sadness Of Lemon Cake
