“Staggeringly intimate...Taddeo spent eight years reporting this groundbreaking book.” (Entertainment Weekly)
“A breathtaking and important book.... What a fine thing it is to be enthralled by another writer’s sentences. To be stunned by her intellect and heart.” (Cheryl Strayed)
“Extraordinary.... This is a nonfiction literary masterpiece.... I can't remember the last time a book affected me as profoundly as Three Women.” (Elizabeth Gilbert)
“A revolutionary look at women's desire, this feat of journalism reveals three women who are carnal, brave, and beautifully flawed.” (People, Book of the Week)
A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, 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 17-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 audiences, booksellers, and critics - and topped best seller 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.

Absolutely LOVED this book. So well written
The author did an astounding job of telling the stories of these three women. It was raw, present and deeply moving. The performers could not have been better. Highly recommend.

I hated and loved it
I almost stopped listening to this audiobook multiple times, furious at the ridiculous idiocy of these women as they navigated situations they signed up for and brought on themselves. And then I realized my anger came from identifying with a part of each woman’s story and unresolved parts of my own life. Lisa Taddeo’s account of Maggie, Lina and Sloane’s sexual journeys is real, raw and heartbreaking.

The epilogue!!!
The epilogue was so well written and read. It really brought a lot of thoughts together. I like how the author connects the three women and her mother in a thought provoking way. Her connections were ideas I was considering as I read the book but wasn’t able to concisely organize. She also broadens some themes to include women as a whole. Lisa told the women’s stories in a very intelligent and thought provoking narrative.

Captivating material - a great read!
I was almost going to give it up - I wasn’t sure if this was going to be interesting to me, however, I am so glad that I stuck it out and continued to listen.
The stories were all captivating and the narrators were amazing. I listened to this book in record time as I wanted to know the outcomes in each case.
A very different read from what I would normally choose, however, great for thought and understanding the deeper meaning of sex and sexuality to different people.
Keep an open mind!!
