The Woman in Red by Diana Giovinazzo

Rating: WARTY!

What an original title! "When Anita meets resistance leader Giuseppe, she is set on an unforgettable course to liberate Southern Brazil from Portugal." Described as "An epic tale of one woman’s fight to take control of her circumstances" by subjugating herself to a man whose first resort is to violence to settle a problem. Yeah. Right. And Giuseppe? Really? That's neither a Portuguese nor a Brazilian name. It's Italian. Barf.
