The Secret Life of Cows by Rosamund Young

2.0

---

Hmm too much anthropomorphism, too flowery. And then after all of that you find out they are selling the cows for beef anyway, which was a shock after reading the flowery anecdotes about communicating with cows and such. I guess I was looking for something that was a bit grittier, illustrating a typical farmer's life; I gather Young's farming experience is quite niche.
