In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Debora G. de Farias discusses her debut novel, Standing Tall. In this work of historical fiction, Debora tells the story of Cecilia Grierson, Argentina’s first female physician. Set against the progressive era of the Golden Age, Standing Tall explores the vibrant culture and realities of life in South America, including the plight of immigrants, the fight for women’s rights, and the yearning to be part of the global pursuit of knowledge in both science and art. In Standing Tall, Debora’s characters discover that there is always love, there is always hope. Her readers will discover that as well. In this episode, I’ll chat with Debora about her writing journey, how she came to learn about Dr. Cecilia Grierson, and her desire to write about little known heroes in the hope that we may get to know them better.
