This was a very chill little xenofiction novel about a cow living in the Basque countryside, passively experiencing some effects of the Spanish Civil War, about which I don't know much. In fact, part of me would have welcomed a bit more insight into that part of Spanish history, but it does make sense to leave all of that vague and simple for this story that's mostly aimed at younger readers.
Probably not a book that I will think back to much, but I did have a decent time and I like having a cow be the main character of a story. At some points I wonder if certain details were meant to be metaphors or allegories for something political, but there is a good chance I just went in with the wrong expectations and tried to look into things too deeply.
Props for the inclusion of some actual Basque language even in my English translation copy.
