Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student in North Dakota, allegedly engages in a relationship with her married English teacher; the ensuing criminal trial turns their quiet community upside down. Sloane, a successful restaurant owner in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women. Hailed as “a dazzling achievement” (Los Angeles Times) and “a riveting page-turner that explores desire, heartbreak, and infatuation in all its messy, complicated nuance” (The Washington Post), Lisa Taddeo’s Three Women has captivated readers, booksellers, and critics—and topped bestseller lists—worldwide. Based on eight years of immersive research, it is “an astonishing work of literary reportage” (The Atlantic) that introduces us to three unforgettable women—and one remarkable writer—whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and global phenomenon Three Women, comes an “intoxicating” (Entertainment Weekly), “fearless” (Los Angeles Times), and “explosive” (People) novel about “what happens when women are pushed beyond the brink, and what comes after the reckoning” (Esquire).Joan has spent a lifetime enduring the cruelties of men. But when one of them commits a shocking act of violence in front of her, she flees New York City in search of Alice, the only person alive who can help her make sense of her past. In the sweltering hills above Los Angeles, Joan unravels the horrific event she witnessed as a child—that has haunted her every waking moment—while forging the power to finally strike back. Animal is a depiction of female rage at its rawest, and a visceral exploration of the fallout from a male-dominated society.

Anziehend, verstörend, wahr: »Taddeos Prosa gleicht einer geschliffenen Klinge.« NylonWas, wenn wir nicht mehr selbst auf die Nachricht eines Liebhabers antworten müssten? Wenn eine App namens Ghost Lover es übernähme, uns endlich die Dates zu verschaffen, die wir verdienen? Als Ami für die Erfindung dieser App ein Preis verliehen werden soll, denkt sie zurück an die Männer, die sie geprägt und verletzt haben. Und fragt sich, welche Strafe gerecht ist im ungerechten Spiel der Liebe.Die »wortgewaltigste Chronistin unseres Begehrens« (Esquire) beleuchtet in ihren Storys die dunklen Seiten des Frauseins, erzählt von bitterer Sehnsucht, schönem Schein und rückhaltloser Hingabe.»Die Chancen stehen gut, dass jede Frau, die sie kennen, wenigstens ein kleines bisschen von dem in sich trägt, was Lisa Taddeos Figuren ausmacht.« Los Angeles Times

Von 0 auf Platz 1 auf den Bestsellerlisten der New York Times und Sunday Times»Dieses Buch ist so wahr und dadurch so hart, dass man nicht aufhören kann, es zu lesen.« DER SPIEGELAlles, was Lina will, ist, dass sie jemand begehrt. Wie ist sie in diese Ehe geraten, mit zwei Kindern und einem Mann, der sie nicht einmal mehr auf den Mund küsst?Alles, was Maggie will, ist, dass sie jemand versteht. Wie konnte sie sich auf ihren Lehrer einlassen? Und warum scheinen alle nicht ihn, sondern sie dafür zu hassen?Alles, was Sloane will, ist, dass sie jemand bewundert. Wie ist sie zum Objekt der Begierde eines Mannes geworden, ihres Mannes, der nichts lieber tut, als ihr beim Sex mit anderen zuzuschauen?Three Women – Drei Frauen ist das Buch der Stunde über weibliche Sexualität zwischen Lust und Macht, anziehend und verstörend, vielschichtig, gewaltig und schön.»Männer werden dieses Buch lesen und bestürzt den Kopf schütteln, Frauen werden wissend nicken.« Sophie Passmann»Es gibt keine Frau, die sich nicht mit schmerzendem Magen und wild klopfendem Herz in dem wiederfinden wird, was Maggie, Lina und Sloane durchmachen.« The Guardian»Three Women – Drei Frauen gleicht einem Schlachtruf. Die literarische Brillanz des Buches haut einen schier um. Für alle, die zu wissen meinen, was Frauen wollen und begehren, wird dieses Buch ein Weckruf sein.« Time Magazine»Dieses Buch – fordernd und herzzerreißend – wird mich noch lange begleiten. Ein außergewöhnlicher Einblick in die Psychologie der weiblichen Sexualität.« Jojo Moyes»Ein erstaunlicher Akt imaginierter Empathie und ein Geschenk an alle Frauen dieser Welt, die das Gefühl haben, dass ihr Begehren ignoriert und ihre Stimmen nicht gehört werden. Ein Buch, das einen hinwegfegt, das schimmert und glitzert und ins Herz dessen trifft, was wir sind.« The Sunday Times»Einfach brillant. In einer Zeit, in der die Sexualität von Frauen zu den am hitzigsten diskutierten Themen gehört, führt kein Weg an diesem Buch vorbei.« Vogue»Aufwühlend … Die Geschichten von Taddeos Protagonistinnen – Sloane, Lina und Maggie – handeln allesamt vom Verbotenen: Dreiecksbeziehungen, Dominanz und Unterordnung, Sex mit Minderjährigen. Und alle enthalten sie eine ordentliche Portion guter alter Untreue. Der Plan geht auf und lässt keinen kalt.« New York Times Book Review»Ich weiß nicht, wann mich ein Buch zuletzt so tief berührt hat wie Three Women – Drei Frauen. Lisa Taddeo ist als Reporterin unermüdlich, als Schriftstellerin brillant und als Erzählerin von einem fast übernatürlichen Mitgefühl beseelt. Ich habe mich in allen Frauen dieser Geschichte wiedergefunden.« Elizabeth Gilbert»Three Women – Drei Frauen zu lesen ist wie das Lesen des Tagebuchs, von dem man nie gehofft hätte, es zu schreiben: Da ist eine sekundengenaue Darstellung Ihrer ekstatischsten Momente und derer voller Elend; Momente, in denen Sie am stärksten waren oder sich ungeheuer schwach fühlten. Dieses Buch pulsiert wie eine Arterie.« The Observer»Macht süchtig, extrem süchtig. Brillant.« Dolly Alderton»Eine umwerfende, fesselnde Schilderung des Begehrens und der sexuellen Vorlieben dreier realer Frauen, die auch davon handelt, wie dieses Begehren und diese Vorlieben zu dem wurden, was sie sind, und wie die Gesellschaft über diese Frauen urteilt. … Lisa Taddeo sucht die Sensation nicht, kennt aber auch keine Scham; in ihrer Darstellung knistert es vor erotischen Details, die ans Eingemachte gehen. Was daraus entsteht, fühlt sich wie ein neues Genre an und ist schon jetzt eines der meistbesprochenen Bücher des Jahres.« The Times»Ich konnte Three Women – Drei Frauen nicht mehr aus der Hand legen. Eine unerbittliche Analyse des weiblichen Begehrens, und doch so poetisch beschrieben … Lisa Taddeo legt ein großartiges, unerschrockenes Debüt vor.

Der neue Roman der Nr. 1-Bestsellerautorin von »Three Women – Drei Frauen«Viel zu lange hat Joan die Grausamkeiten von Männern ertragen. Den einen liebt sie, doch er bleibt kalt. Und der, der sie liebt, gibt sich eines Tages vor ihren Augen die Kugel. Joan flieht aus New York nach Los Angeles und sucht die einzige Frau, die ihr helfen kann, ihre Vergangenheit zu überwinden und eine andere zu werden: ihre Halbschwester Alice. Während Alice ihr zuhört, muss Joan einsehen, dass es nicht zuletzt sie selbst war, die sich vor den Männern ihres Lebens erniedrigt hat. Sie will mehr als nur Opfer sein. Selbst wenn sie dafür zur Täterin werden muss.Provokant und verletzlich erzählt Lisa Taddeo von weiblichem Schmerz und weiblicher Wut, von Rache, Solidarität und Selbstermächtigung, mit der für Joan ein neues Leben beginnt.»Joans Ton ist so schneidend und anziehend, dass man ihr überallhin folgen würde.« The New York Times Book Review»American Psycho für die #MeToo-Generation.« The Times»Wie Joan Didion auf harten Drogen und mit einem Klappmesser.« Harper''s Bazaar»Lisa Taddeo legt die ungeschönte Realität weiblichen Begehrens und weiblicher Traumata frei.« TIME Magazine»Ein schonungsloses Debüt über weibliche Wut.« Guardian»Unerschrocken, sexy, brutal und einfach nur forensisch gut beobachtet.« Jojo Moyes»Animal knurrt und faucht eine ungezähmte Wahrheit heraus, und die verschwiegene Geschichte von Wut und Abrechnung.« Lithub»Ein dunkles, verstörendes Meisterwerk, voller berechtigter weiblicher Wut – jedes Wort fliegt einem förmlich entgegen.« Red»Animal ist ein aufregender, aufrührerischer Roman, so einnehmend wie berauschend – und er steigert sich in ein Fiasko hinein, von dem man den Blick nicht mehr abwenden kann.« Vogue»Eine Lektüre wie ein Fiebertraum … Intensiv, aufrüttelnd, provozierend, und doch ist dieses Buch erfüllt von Humanität und Sinnlichkeit, am Ende gar von Liebe und Hoffnung.« Stylist»Gekonnt und von eigener Erfahrung getragen, zeigt Taddeo auf, wie die Brutalität von Männern die Wut von Frauen befeuert. Das Ergebnis ist so intim wie explosiv.« People (Buch der Woche)»Eine provokante Erkundung dessen, was passiert, wenn Frauen bis zum Äußersten getrieben werden.« Esquire»Psychologisch scharfsinnig erzählt Animal die Geschichte eines verzweifelt errungenen Überlebens und thematisiert so die Bedeutung weiblicher Stärke in unserer Welt.« Evening Standard»Ein brutaler Road-Trip-Thriller ohne Tabus.« Daily Mail»Eine explosive, ins Mark gehende Geschichte über Kindheitstraumata, sexuelle Gewalt, Schwesternschaft und Trauer.« i»Animal handelt vom allgegenwärtigen Es, eine fleischliche, freimütige Darstellung der unguten Verbindung von Erinnerung und Gewalt.« Raven Leilani»Unfassbar gut und wahr und vertrackt.« Olivia WildeHighlight des Jahres für Guardian – Sunday Express – Independent – New Statesman – Evening Standard – Cosmopolitan – Red – Grazia – Daily Mail – Daily Express – The Week – Irish Times – i – The Sun
