Love in the Last Days of the Patriarchy – a masterpiece by the number one bestselling author of "Three Women." For far too long, Joan has endured the cruelties of men. She loves one, but he remains cold. And the one who loves her takes his own life one day before her eyes. Joan flees from New York to Los Angeles in search of the only woman who can help her overcome her past and become someone new: her half-sister Alice. As Alice listens to her, Joan must realize that it was not least herself who has allowed the men in her life to demean her. She wants to be more than just a victim, even if it means becoming a perpetrator. Provocative and vulnerable, Lisa Taddeo tells a story of female pain and female rage, of revenge, solidarity, and self-empowerment, with which a new life begins for Joan.
