520 Desire as we've never seen it before: a riveting true
story about the sex lives of three real American women,
based on nearly a decade of reporting. It thrills us and
torments us. It controls our thoughts, destroys our lives,
and it's all we live for. Yet we almost never speak of it.
And as a buried force in our lives, desire remains largely
unexplored--until now. Over the past eight years,
journalist Lisa Taddeo has driven across the country six
times to embed herself with ordinary women from different
regions and backgrounds. The result, Three Women, is the
deepest nonfiction portrait of desire ever written and one
of the most anticipated books of the year. We begin in
suburban Indiana with Lina, a homemaker and mother of two
whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. She
passes her days cooking and cleaning for a man who refuses
to kiss her on the mouth, protesting that "the sensation
offends" him. To Lina's horror, even her marriage
counselor says her husband's position is valid. Starved
for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks. When she
reconnects with an old flame through social media, she
embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming.
In North Dakota we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high
school student who finds a confidant in her handsome,
married English teacher. By Maggie's account, supportive
nightly texts and phone calls evolve into a clandestine
physical relationship, with plans to skip school on her
eighteenth birthday and make love all day; instead, he
breaks up with her on the morning he turns thirty. A few
years later, Maggie has no degree, no career, and no
dreams to live for. When she learns that this man has been
named North Dakota's Teacher of the Year, she steps
forward with her story--and is met with disbelief by
former schoolmates and the jury that hears her case. The
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. He picks out partners for
her alone or for a threesome, and she ensures that
everyone's needs are satisfied. For years, Sloane has been
asking herself where her husband's desire ends and hers
begins. One day, they invite a new man into their bed--but
he brings a secret with him that will finally force Sloane
to confront the uneven power dynamics that fuel their
lifestyle. Based on years of immersive reporting, and told
with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is a
groundbreaking portrait of erotic longing in today's
America, exposing the fragility, complexity, and
inequality of female desire with unprecedented depth and
emotional power. It is both a feat of journalism and a
triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy,
that introduces us to three unforgettable women--and one
remarkable writer--whose experiences remind us that we are
