ELIZABETH GILBERT- 'This is a non-fiction literary masterpiece at the same level as In Cold Blood and just as suspenseful, bone-chilling and harrowing, in its own way'
DAVE EGGERS- 'This is one of the most riveting, assured and scorchingly original debuts I've ever read. Taddeo's beautifully written and unflinching portraits of desire allow her protagonists to be wholly human and wholly, blessedly complex. I can't imagine a scenario where this isn't one of the more important and breathlessly debated books of the year'
GILLIAN ANDERSON- 'Intense and riveting. It gives us epic themes in miniature. These women broke my heart and I won't forget them'
All Lina ever 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?
Consequences are handed out to some but not to others. Three Women is a record of unmet needs, unspoken thoughts, disappointments, hopes and unrelenting obsessions that tests the boundaries of non-fiction.
Untitled
An insightful journey into three different women's love life. Why they chose the paths they did and what prompted them to make decsions which are often seen as taboo. As each story unfolds the readers persepective shifts. A very well written piece. - Taryn (QBD)
