COW [n.]

/ka¿/

A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.

Three women. A whole world of judgement.

Tara, Cam and Stella are very different women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, there's something about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us.

When one extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three worlds collide in ways they could never imagine - and they discover that one woman's catastrophe might just be another's inspiration.

Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, they'll learn to find their own voices.

Because sometimes it's OK not to follow the herd.

Dawn O'Porter's THE COWS is a top-rated, humorous, and romantic fiction that has been recognised as a literary best. This bestselling comedy is a bold and perceptive narrative that everyone is talking about.

For fans of Rufi Thorpe (The Knockout Queen), Caroline O'Donoghue (The Rachel Incident), Gillian Mcallister (Famous Last Words), Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), and Sophie Kinsella (What Does it Feel Like?).
