The Cows is a powerful novel about three women. In all the noise of modern life, each needs to find her 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.

Story
India Allwood grew up wanting to be an actor. Armed with a stack of index cards (for research/line memorization/make-shift confetti), she goes from awkward sixteen-year-old to Broadway ingenue to TV superhero. Her new movie is a prestige picture about adoption, but its spin is the same old tired story of tragedy. India is an adoptive mom in real life though. She wants everyone to know there’s more to her family than pain and regret. So she does something you should never do—she tells a journalist the truth: it’s a bad movie.

Story
Katie Collins has barely ever left her tiny Irish village of Ennisbawn. Why would she? With its tightknit community, friendly local pub, surrounded by glistening lakes and perfectly mysterious forests, it’s a place of peaceful beauty. Or it was peaceful. Until Callum Dempsey turned up. Part of a hotshot (and, Katie has to admit, hot is annoyingly apt for him...) development team with zero eye for beauty or charm, he’s not only building a hideous hotel just outside the village, he’s also just announced a plan to knock down Ennisbawn’s only remaining pub.

Adorable
Loved this book. The story is one all women should hear. The narrator does a fab job at the voices without it being overly performative. Devoured it in two days!

Much deeper than I was expecting
I was looking for a light read but instead I couldn’t put this down. I am still reeling from the emotional roller coaster this book delivered.

Clever, compelling, moving
I completely underestimated this book going in. I had chosen this one because I genuinely thought it would be a bit of chicken soup for the soul after the hard slog of a book I’d just finished. And it is soul soothing, but it’s also an excellent, compelling story. Well developed characters, deeply moving and very clever. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would have even if I wasn’t also a proud cat lady. Really recommend.

What a range of emotions this book brought to me.
I laughed, I sobbed and reached for my 17yr old cat, my eldest and best friend in the world.
I am Mia.
I had a hard time too growing up, but animals, especially cats, saved my life.
Outwardly, I am talkative, sharing, friendly and competent. The hidden truth is that only the kindness of strangers has kept me moving through life, 62 years now, while my own relationships, marriage & friendships have let me down. Hurt me cruelly even.
Thank you for such a witty, honest look at being a cat lady and proud of it (well I am now). The narrator was amazing, I was immersed! A lovely story woven around an important kick up the a..e for me to get out and find REAL friends that can relate to MY story as Cat Lady.

Pet Lovers Unite
This book is a love letter to anyone who’s ever loved and lost a beloved pet. In classic Dawn fashion this book takes you to some unexpected places while really getting at the heart of the characters, and the love we have for our pets.
