A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women 'who are carnal, brave, and beautifully flawed' (People, Book of the Week), based on nearly a decade of reporting.

Lina, a young mother in suburban Indiana whose marriage has lost its passion, reconnects with an old flame through social media and embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student in North Dakota, allegedly engages in a relationship with her married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial turns their quiet community upside down. Sloane, a successful restaurant owner in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women.

Hailed as 'a dazzling achievement' (Los Angeles Times) and 'a riveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuance' (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeo's Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and critics-and topped bestseller lists-worldwide. Based on eight years of immersive research, it is 'an astonishing work of literary reportage' (The Atlantic) that introduces us to three unforgettable women-and one remarkable writer-whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.
