THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

‘A book that blazes, glitters and cuts to the heart of who we are. I’m not sure that a book can do much more’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘The kind of bold, timely, once-in-a-generation book that every house should have a copy of, and probably will before too long’ NEW STATESMAN
‘I will probably re-read it every year of my life’ CAITLIN MORAN
‘As unputdownable as the most page-turning fiction’ JOJO MOYES
‘Gripping, powerful and enraging’ DAVID NICHOLLS
‘The book every man should read’ ESQUIRE

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.
