Lambing Season follows a young woman, a newly disabled illustrator, as she comes to terms with a body that can no longer produce art. Desperate for stability in the wake of her diagnosis, she follows an impulse to move to rural Wales and become engaged to a near stranger, a misanthropic airplane pilot living in a rundown house to save money while attending flight school. Putting immense faith in the redemptive power of marriage, the pair are united by their recklessness and little else.
Piercing, thoughtful and wickedly funny, Lambing Season marks the arrival of an extraordinary new literary talent.
