Summary
Shortlisted for best audiobook in the Specsavers National Book Awards 2018.
The Sunday Times best seller.
Fearlessly frank and funny, the debut adult novel from Dawn O’Porter needs to be talked about.
This audiobook contains an audio exclusive Q&A with author Dawn O’Porter.
COW [n.] /kaʊ/ A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.
Women don’t have to fall into a stereotype.
The Cows is a powerful novel about three women. In all the noise of modern life, each needs to find their own voice.
It’s about friendship and being female.
It’s bold and brilliant.
It’s searingly perceptive.
It's about never following the herd.
And everyone is going to be talking about it.
Critic reviews

"Smart and insightful." (RED)

"Funny and excruciating. You'll think about it for weeks!" (Kristen Wiig)
"I loved it. Funny, moving, twisty.... Wow! I couldn't stop reading it." (Jill Mansell)

Unexpected but brilliant
The story telling is fantastic I found it hard to stop listening and commence with everyday tasks. This was my first audible book and now has me hooked. If you like Dawn’s TV work you’ll enjoy this book.

Would definetely recommend
Such a relevant book about women in today's society, loved the social media angle and brilliantly narrated. Not my normal read as I tend to read more thrillers than novels I think of as being specifically aimed at a female audience,, not a fan of romances, this though was insightful and thought provoking.. Loved it.

Fantastic!
I absolutely love this book, I think it has been one of my favourites this year! It is funny but sad. It provides real insight to life today.
The characters are so good and they are a good reflection of women today. Don't miss out on this one.
