Roddy Doyle will be joining the discussion over Zoom from Ireland to talk about his brilliant trilogy on Paula Spencer–mother, grandmother, widow, addict, survivor–starting with 1996’s The Women Who Walked Into Doors, then to Paula Spencer, and last year’s The Women Behind the Door. This latest book is a devastating and spot-on examination of domestic abuse’s impact on the mother and daughter relationship.
Roddy Doyle is a Booker Prize winner and the author of ten acclaimed novels, including The Commitments, The Van, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, The Woman Who Walked Into Doors, A Star Called Henry, The Guts, and Love, as well as several works for children and young adults including the Rover novels.
You do not have to be part of the book club to join this livestream event! This program is free and open to all. If you would like to join the book discussion on your own virtually via Zoom, you are welcome to do so by joining the Finding Our Voices book club.
