Powell's Picks of the Month

Hot new releases and under-the-radar gems for adults and kids.


Staff Pick

Lisa Taddeo’s nonfiction account of inner sexual lives in Three Women was stunning, and it was often noted that it was as gripping as any novel when it became a massive bestseller in 2019. She’s following that achievement with her debut novel about female anger, power, and autonomy. Recommended By Keith M., Powells.com

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments

Lisa Taddeo illustrates one woman's exhilarating transformation from prey into predator in Animal, the scorching 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).

Honestly, sometimes I think it's the only recourse. Killing men in times like these.

Joan has spent a lifetime enduring the cruel acts 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.

Review

"Fearless, sexy, brutal, and just forensically observed." Jojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars

Review

"Taddeo creates impressive suspense....A provocative novel of sex, love, and rage for readers drawn to psychologically rich, feminist literary fiction." Booklist

Review

"Riveting....Propulsive, erotic, emotional....Joan is almost impossible to look away from on every page." Kirkus Reviews

This book spoke to my soul, the parts I don't often let come to the surface. I faced grit and texture within Taddeo's words and at times needed to take a minute to regroup. I can't wait to read this book again in a few years, with a new perspective and experience to color the picture. Highly recommend to those who like the stream of consciousness writing style. Such a good read.
