From the weekend, my @TelegraphBooks review of the book everyone's talking about, Three Women by Lisa Taddeo, an impressive, compelling but ultimately problematic work of narrative non-fiction about female desire https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/what-to-read/three-women-lisa-taddeo-review-sex-vampire-fantasy-sex-traumatic/
