A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting.Hailed as โa dazzling achievementโ (Los Angeles Times) and โriveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuanceโ (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeoโs Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and criticsโand topped bestseller listsโworldwide.
In suburban Indiana we meet Lina, a homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks and, after reconnecting with an old flame through social media, embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student who allegedly has a clandestine physical relationship with her handsome, married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial will turn their quiet community upside down. Finally, in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, we meet Sloaneโa gorgeous, successful, and refined restaurant ownerโwho is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women.
Based on years of immersive reporting and told with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is both a feat of journalism and a triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy. โA work of deep observation, long conversations, and a kind of journalistic alchemyโ (Kate Tuttle, NPR), Three Women introduces us to three unforgettable womenโand one remarkable writerโwhose experiences remind us that we are not alone.
