Holy Cow by David Duchovny is a comic delight that will thrill fans of Jasper Fforde and Ben
Aaronovitch . And anyone who enjoys a witty wisecrack in a novel. Elsie Bovary is a cow and a
pretty happy one at that. Until one night Elsie sneaks out of the pasture and finds herself
drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window she sees the farmer's family gathered around a
bright Box God - and what the Box God reveals about something called an 'industrial meat farm'
shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core. The only solution? To escape to a
better safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie Shalom a grumpy pig who's recently
converted to Judaism and Tom a suave turkey who can't fly but can work an iPhone with his
beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises they head for the airport ...
Elsie is a wise-cracking slyly witty narrator Tom dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake
German accent and Shalom ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. David
Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance the
world desperately needs.
