2024 marks 10 years of WIT Month! I've been participating since its second year, so it's nine active years for me. To celebrate a full decade of promoting women in translation, I thought I would share a few of my own favourites discovered over the past ten years.
Today I am sharing some of the shorter reads that I've most enjoyed, but just because they are short doesn't mean they don't have quite a punch to them!

I'm very happy to see that you included "Three Apples" on your list! It was a joy to read and a joy to translate! Happy reading to you, Lisa
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a joy! There was so much warmth in it. I really loved it, so glad you translated it into English so I could read it :)
