#read99women: Heather Webb
I have many fun Heather Webb stories, but here’s my favorite: when I flew cross-country to Portland, Oregon to attend my first Historical Novel Society Conference, I arrived at the conference hotel around 10 p.m. local time, exhausted and already spent. But at this particular hotel, the hotel bar was located between the front door and the registration desk, and the minute I got inside, I spotted Heather Webb. We hugged and started talking. I ended up not checking in until well after midnight Pacific time.
Totally worth it!
Even if you only know Heather Webb from her novels, you know she’s got a sharp mind, an eye for detail, a way with words, and a lively sense of fun. I knew she’d have a great recommendation for #read99women and her choice does not disappoint.
Heather Webb is the USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of six historical novels. In 2015, Rodin’s Lover was a Goodreads Top Pick, and in 2018, Last Christmas in Paris won the Women’s Fiction Writers Association STAR Award. Her latest, Meet Me in Monaco, was selected as a finalist for the 2020 Goldsboro RNA award in the UK, as well as the 2019 Digital Book World’s Fiction prize. To date, Heather’s books have been translated to over a dozen languages.
Heather’s pick is the amazing CIRCE by Madeline Miller. “Each sentence is a pearl; a smooth and iridescent beauty that you'd like to hold in your mind. I savored every page.“ Click here to read Heather’s full review.
