En la Finlandia de finales del siglo XX, Katariina y su hija Anna luchan contra los fantasmas del pasado y del presente. Mientras Katariina intenta ocultar sus orígenes estonios y los traumas de la era soviética, Anna se enfrenta a graves trastornos alimentarios en un intento desesperado por controlar su propia imagen. A través de sus historias, Sofi Oksanen teje un relato conmovedor sobre el destino trágico de Estonia y la dificultad de construir una identidad propia bajo el peso del desarraigo. El título hace referencia a las 'vacas de Stalin', el nombre irónico que los estonios deportados a Siberia daban a las cabras flacas que encontraban allí, contrastando con la propaganda soviética. Esta obra, la primera novela de la aclamada autora de 'Purga', explora con maestría la herencia del dolor y la resiliencia femenina frente a la opresión histórica.
