From Lisa Taddeo 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.
