"If the Royal Tenenbaums were middle-class and likable, they'd be this madcap family." ―The New York Times Book Review

"With her energetic prose and restless imagination, Cash does one better than survey the world; she reinvents it." ―Hannah Gold, The New Yorker

“Madeline Cash is a voice like no other.” ―Lena Dunham

Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction.

The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone―or something―is monitoring the town’s citizens.

Casting a shadow across their lives, and their small coastal town, is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate. Rumors of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. 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 it, Cash has crafted a family saga for the twenty-first century, all held together with crazy glue.

Madeline Cash es una escritora y editora estadounidense, reconocida por irrumpir en la escena literaria con una propuesta narrativa marcada por el humor, la sátira y una mirada aguda sobre la vida contemporánea. Vinculada al ámbito editorial —ha trabajado como editora de revista—, su escritura destaca por un estilo irreverente, ágil y cargado de observación social, donde lo cotidiano se mezcla con lo absurdo. Su obra se sitúa dentro de la ficción literaria contemporánea, explorando las tensiones familiares, la cultura digital y las paranoias modernas con un tono distintivo.

Es autora de Lost Lambs (2026), su primera novela, que rápidamente se posicionó como un título destacado del año y una de las obras más anticipadas por diversos medios. En este libro, Cash construye una historia coral sobre una familia disfuncional envuelta en conspiraciones, combinando comedia, crítica social y elementos casi surrealistas. Su debut ha sido valorado por su energía narrativa y su capacidad para retratar con ironía las contradicciones del presente, consolidándola como una voz emergente dentro de la narrativa anglosajona actual.
