Description
Elsie Bovary is a contented cow whose peaceful pasture life is upended when a glimpse of human television exposes her to the unsettling realities of industrial farming. Determined to find a safer future, she joins forces with Shalom, a sharp-tongued pig exploring his Jewish faith, and Tom, a self-styled sophisticated turkey with an unexpected technological talent. Their unconventional journey delivers a witty, imaginative adventure that explores animal rights, friendship, identity, religion, and the uneasy relationship between humans and the creatures they raise. Told with irreverent humor and satirical insight, the novel offers a playful yet thought-provoking perspective on compassion and freedom.
