Seattle writer Robin Oliveira is here this evening with her much-praised debut novel, the historically-, Civil War-set My Name is Mary Sutter (Viking). In the course of writing this superb novel, Robin Oliveira received the James Jones First Novel Fellowship for a work-in-progress. "An inspiring tale of a woman's struggle to find her identity in the conservative, male-dominated field of medicine in mid-nineteenth-century America. Mary Sutter faces a great many obstacles in her quest to become a physician—the greatest one being the simple fact she's female. But her aplomb and quiet wisdom, her courage and perseverance, lead her into the heart of the Civil War battlefields, where she proves that women are not only as strong and brave as men but often much less reckless in their pursuit of glory." - Kaylie Jones. "A simply remarkable book. Robin Oliveira brings the Civil War era vividly alive with a heroine no reader will ever forget." - Ron Rash. Come the time, this will likely be a favorite with book groups.
