Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
If longevity is the proof and ménages à trois is the pudding, then Three in Love is an appropriate recipe for this classically suspect concoction. Claiming that their own 16-year relationship is as valid an arrangement as marriage, the authors offer their defense with a mild dose of psychology amidst examples of famous threesomes--the more familiar (Lord Nelson and the Hamiltons, June & Henry Miller and Anaïs Nin) as well as some surprises.

From Library Journal
This study, or triography, claims to be the first written on the topic of love triangles for a general audience. After "a quest for the origins, tradition, and current standings of the menage a trois," the authors, recently profiled as a threesome in the New York Observer, examine famous and infamous groupings. From the obvious (Anais Nin and Henry and June Miller) to the far-fetched and fictitious (Lois Lane, Clark Kent, Superman), the reader is exposed to the details of the relationships among these and other trios. The sightings seem to be held up to make the point that multipartner arrangements are, if not natural, at least common enough. Cited quotes from sexual pundits Camille Paglia and Dr. Ruth won't make this a must for the library, though the sexually liberated and curious might find the gossipy anecdotes titillating. The Fosters also wrote Forbidden Journey: The Life of Alexandra David-Neel (Overlook, 1997. 2d ed.), while Hadady has authored the alternative health self-helper, [Asian Health Secrets] (LJ 9/1/96). --David Nudo, "Library Journal"
