'Joan is an unforgettable anti-heroine. I don't think I'll ever stop thinking about her.' - Elizabeth Day

"If someone asked me to describe myself in a single word, depraved is the one I would use. The depravation has been useful to me. Useful to what end, I couldn't say. But I have survived the worst. Survivor is the second word I'd use." - Joan, Animal, 2

ANIMAL - From Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women.
"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".

"I’m really interested in the depravity of human nature, we can be happy and kind, angry and vengeful, I like to look at all of it together. I’m more concerned with the darker parts because I feel like we talk less about them." - Lisa Taddeo, Esquire

"Now it’s women’s turn.
It’s significant that, 400 years on, women artists, filmmakers and writers must still think twice before letting their rage leak out through their work, lest they be labelled unhinged. But, funnelled through art, anger can be cathartic and energising". - Fiona Sturges, Independent
