A riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting.
Hailed as “a dazzling achievement” (Los Angeles Times) and “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.
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 Sloane—a gorgeous, successful, and refined restaurant owner—who 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. “A work of deep observation, long conversations, and a kind of journalistic alchemy” (Kate Tuttle, NPR), Three Women introduces us to three unforgettable women—and one remarkable writer—whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster oferecem uma experiência de leitura que combina narrativas profundamente humanas com análises detalhadas de temas contemporâneos e históricos. O catálogo privilegia obras que exploram jornadas pessoais de superação e transformação, muitas vezes ambientadas em contextos reais ou históricos, como pequenas comunidades americanas ou eventos marcantes do século XX. Há um equilíbrio entre textos mais narrativos, com personagens complexos e enredos emocionais, e obras informativas, que apresentam relatos jornalísticos ou investigações detalhadas, como histórias de grandes eventos esportivos ou políticos. O tom varia do intimista e reflexivo ao crítico e satírico, com ritmo que pode ser tanto contemplativo quanto dinâmico, dependendo do foco da obra.
