LISA TADDEO

Over eight years, award-winning American author and journalist Lisa Taddeo moved from state to state in the US immersing herself in the lives of three women and detailing their deepest desires. The result? A critically acclaimed work of nonfiction. On page 32 of this issue, Taddeo touches on the experience of creating Three Women, one of the year’s most raved-about releases. “It feels incredibly weird,” she says of her success. “I almost feel like it’s happening to somebody else.” With the likes of Jojo Moyes, Elizabeth Gilbert and Gwyneth Paltrow praising Taddeo’s work, she’s also amassed quite a following. “When Gwyneth Paltrow Instagrammed a shot of my book on some lovely yacht, 50 people I hadn’t spoken to since sixth grade emailed me,” she shared.
