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, and several works for children and young adults including the Rover novels.
