Pleased as punch to kick off a super-fun project I’m calling #read99women! So for the next 99 days (ooh that’s a lot of days) I’ll be hosting one awesome author a day, recommending one book by and/or about women. We’ve got a delightful mix of authors from across genres, talking about books they think readers would love, whether the book is a brand-new thing that hasn’t even come out yet, an overlooked gem from the archives, or a clear classic.

So for our first #read99women recommendation, please welcome to the blog Diana Giovinazzo, podcast co-host extraordinaire of Wine, Women and Words and soon-to-be debut author of THE WOMAN IN RED, a novel of Anita Garibaldi that’ll knock your proverbial socks off when it hits shelves in August 2020.

Diana’s recommendation: THE LOST DAUGHTER by Elena Ferrante. She says: “The Neapolitan novels are getting a lot of attention right now, and rightfully so. But this book, which may be more along the lines of a novella, deserves some attention.”

Have you read THE LOST DAUGHTER? Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments!

And tune in tomorrow for another great author with another great book to add to your TBR pile…
