Lamb (Paperback, New edition)

Brother Michael Lamb works in an austere remand home and, while struggling to come to terms with the loss of his faith, abducts a young inmate - with the best of intentions, but with tragic consequences. (Kirkus UK)

On a promontory jutting out into the Atlantic wind stands the Home run by Brother Benedict, where boys are taught a little of God and a lot of fear. To Michael Lamb, one of the youngest brothers, the regime is without hope, and when he inherits a small legacy he defies his elders and runs away, taking with him a twelve-year-old boy, Owen Kane. Radio Eireann call it a kidnapping. For Michael the act is thebeginning of Owen's salvation. Posing as father and son, they concentrate on discovering the happiness that is so unfamiliar to themboth. But as the outside world closes in around them - as time, moneyand opportunity run out - Michael finds himself moving towards a solution that is as uncompromising as it is inspired by love.
