How To Measure A Cow: Margaret Forster - Softcover

"The work of a novelist in her prime... The narrative is taut and suspenseful, the characterization complex and dynamic." (Stevie Davies Guardian)

"Brilliantly drawn... Atmosphere and characters linger long after the novel ends" (Sunday Times)

"Deft, intriguing and gripping. Forster never disappoints." (Kate Williams Woman & Home)

"This is Margaret Forster's last novel, sadly, and it's full of reminders of what made her such a shrewd and arresting chronicler of women’s lives" (Hephzibah Anderson Mail on Sunday)

"An exemplary final work ... wonderfully well-observed" (D.J. Taylor The Times)

Born in Carlisle, Margaret Forster was the author of many successful and acclaimed novels, including Have the Men Had Enough?, Lady's Maid, Diary of an Ordinary Woman, Is There Anything You Want? , Keeping the World Away, Over and The Unknown Bridesmaid.
