I Read: Three Women

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo

I picked this book up because I read a description of it by someone hosting an online book club. I have no intention of joining an online book club, but the passion with which she wrote about the book was inspiring so I did a little research and decided it was something I would be interested in. I'd never heard of it previously, but she had apparently read it several times. 

I'm not sure what I was expecting going on, but there were a lot of reviews that through around the words empowering, and strong. And while I agree that the women featured in this book are strong, I'm not sure that I'd say their stories are empowering, except in the telling of them. They definitely didn't feel empowered within their stories to me.
