Synopsis
Winner of the British Book Awards Non-Fiction Narrative Book of the Year 2020
All Lina 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?
Three Women, which was nearly a decade in the making, is a staggering work of non-fiction for our times.
