The Cows by Dawn O'Porter Book Summary

Fearlessly frank and funny, the debut adult novel from Dawn O’Porter needs to be talked about.

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.

Tara, Cam and Stella are strangers living their own lives as best they can – though when society’s screaming you should live life one way, it can be hard to like what you see in the mirror.

When an extraordinary event ties invisible bonds of friendship between them, one woman’s catastrophe becomes another’s inspiration, and a life lesson to all.

Sometimes it’s ok not to follow the herd.

The Cows is a powerful novel about three women – judging each other, but also themselves. In all the noise of modern life, they need to find their own voice.

Reviews

‘A funny, smart, kind, incredibly truthful book about women . . . all the shame, judgement, envy and love that being alive and female entails’ Polly Vernon

‘Smart and insightful’ RED

‘Dawn's writing is addictive – fearless, beyond feisty and seriously funny’ Mel Giedroyc

‘Different, poignant and smart – I loved it’ Sara Lawrence, DAILY MAIL

‘A whirlwind of a story about three women finding their voice amid societal pressures . . . Excellent, funny, and decidedly unpatronising - as candid as Dawn’ METRO

Amazing. Absolutely brilliant book - I couldn't put it down. Felt absolutely bereft when it ended. Read it, read it now!

The Cows. A great read! Highly recommended😀👌

Great read.. Loved this funny, empowering & sad book.

Brilliant from start to finish !. Loved this book, didn’t want to put it down. Definitely recommend.

The Herd. Just finished this fantastic Dawn O'Porter book, can't remember the last time I read something that made me laugh out loud and cry at the same time. She shows fantastic insight into just how judgemental the world can be against childless women ( I'm one myself!) though not by choice .. she really has an incredible gift in the way she shapes her characters and how that she then puts the pieces of the jigsaw to link them up is priceless . I really hope someone out there will make a TV comedy drama out of it.. I've seen and enjoyed some of Dawns TV documentaries but she's an awesome novel writer too - more please!

Pat on the back. Absolutely loved it, no spoilers, just read it! ❤️

What a read!. A fantastic read, I couldn’t put the book down and read it within 3 days!

Read it!. Highly recommended read. Made me laugh out of my nose on the bus. Read it!

Brilliant!!!. I couldn’t put this down, I will definitely recommend it to anyone who’ll listen!

Refreshingly different. Fab

A great read but left feeling a little dissatisfied. Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy reading this book, couldn’t put it down at one point, the characters are hilarious and strong willed women (a little mad at times) but the premise was good and it started really strong - however I feel that the attempt to connect Tara, Cam and Stella together felt really forced and far fetched. All the characters individual story arcs were well thought out and so interesting which is what kept me hooked, but once the moment on the stairs happened and the three women’s lives started to merge I just got a little disappointed that that was where the story was heading. It was a really fun read though, Thank you Dawn for portraying real women, I hope you don’t think my criticism is too harsh, I can see that lots of others readers throughly enjoyed it!

New Age Women’s Fiction. Fantastic story that represents women in a very real way! Fantastic plot and was not expecting the outcome - brilliant read.

Bloody fantabulous. Wicked read my title says it all. I was totally submerged in each of the characters almost picturing the scenes in my head (well most scenes LOL) brilliant Dawn ⭐️🔥⭐️🔥

Loved it. So easy to relate to in many ways, easy read. Have recommended to friends and will continue to.

The Cows. Absolutely fantastic, please read! It’s an eye opener

Fabulous Book. What a great book. Laugh out loud moments! Sad, funny and feel good. Couldn't put it down. A must read 😊

Loved it!. Can’t wait to read the next one!

Amazing!. Every woman should read this book! Absolutely brilliant and hilarious.

WOW... just, WOW. From start to end this book is EVERYTHING! Every character bought to life and each one relatable in its own way! Was ‘forced’ to read this as it was the choice of one of our book club crew, but I couldn’t be happier and will read more from Dawn for sure!

The Cows. I absolutely loved this book! It had me from the first page, I laughed, cried and was left lost in my thoughts! Now I have finished it I feel a bit lost! An absolute must read!

Disappointed. This had really good reviews which was why I was so incredibly disappointed when I finished it. It was an easy read which I needed at the time but I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. Perhaps that’s my issue though. The one character I did like, the blogger, well I won’t include any spoilers but it was part of a very lazy ending. I enjoyed it in the end somewhat, but it probably shouldn’t have taken that long to get that good.
