Book Overview
Lisa Taddeo illustrates one woman's exhilarating transformation from prey into predator in Animal, the "ferociously beautiful" (Library Journal) debut novel from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon Three Women, named to more than thirty best-of-the-year lists and hailed as "a dazzling achievement" (Los Angeles Times) and "a heartbreaking, gripping, astonishing masterpiece" (Esquire). I am depraved. I hope you like me. 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.

Beautifully written story of woman
Published by Samantha , 1 year ago
This book had me in a chokehold. The way Lisa Taddeo writes had me pining for more. A heartbreaking story of tragedy after tragedy in the main character joans life. Joan is relatable to almost every woman. In the year of 2023 i'd be shocked if theres a story in the book a woman hasn't experienced. Sad but true. I can best describe this as Joans villain origin story. But really at the end of the day, all we want is to love and be loved. Unfortunately men feel entitled to TAKE that away from us. An incredible book. I wish i could read it for the first time all over again.
