'A masterpiece at the same level as In Cold Blood' ELIZABETH GILBERT

'This is one of the most riveting, assured and scorchingly original debuts I've ever read. I can't imagine a time where this isn't one of the more important – and breathlessly debated – books of the year' DAVE EGGERS

'Addictive, totally addictive. Brilliant' DOLLY ALDERTON

'A fascinating excavation of the intricacies of love and desire, where they conspire and where they conflict. Read this book' ESTHER PEREL

'This book – challenging and heartbreaking – will stay with me. An extraordinary, documentary deep dive into the psychology of women and sex that is as unputdownable as the most page-turning fiction' JOJO MOYES

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?

Consequences are handed out to some but not to others. Three Women is a record of unmet needs, unspoken thoughts, disappointments, hopes and unrelenting obsessions that tests the boundaries of non-fiction.
