The number one Sunday Times bestseller, the number one New York Times bestseller, winner of the Foyles Non-Fiction Book of the Year, a Stylist and Independent Book of the Decade, the Most-Picked Book of the Year of 2019! All Lina wanted was to be desired. How did she end up in a marriage with two children and a husband who wouldn't touch her? All Maggie wanted was to be understood. How did she end up in a relationship with her teacher and then in court, a hated pariah in her small town? All Sloane wanted was to be admired. How did she end up a sexual object of men, including her husband, who liked to watch her have sex with other men and women? Three Women is a record of unmet needs, unspoken thoughts, disappointments, hopes and unrelenting obsessions. Lisa Taddeo spent eight years and thousands of hours tracking the women whose stories comprise Three Women, moving to the towns they lived in to better understand their lives. One of the most highly anticipated debuts of 2019, Three Women is an unprecedented examination of the lives of three ordinary women.
