Recent Reads: Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
Three Women by Lisa Taddeo is about three very different women, each with their own problems to do with sex, and is a work of non fiction.
Lina is married to a man who doesn't want to touch her. Sloane is married to a man who likes to watch others touching her. Maggie is a young woman who realises that the relationship she had with a teacher was actually very different to what she thought it was at the time.
These three women have told their lives to Lisa Taddeo, and so these events are recounted to us with what was said word for word, action for action. As no one has perfect recall, some of this must have had imagination used, but used to put you in that time and place very effectively.
This is a strong, emotional and upsetting book in places, but a powerful one, that shows these women finding themselves, and understanding their own history a little more. I did enjoy the book, but it is one of those that comes with trigger warnings!
