Tuesday, November 18th 2:00-3:15pm: Book Discussion Livestream: ‘The Women Behind the Door’ by Roddy Doyle (Finding Our Voices)

The library will host an in-person livestream of a virtual book discussion with Roddy Dole, the author of "The Women Behind the Door." This book discussion is hosted and sponsored by Finding Our Voices and is a part of their book club series.

You will have a chance to join in the discussion!

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."

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.

Finding Our Voices is the grassroots survivor-powered nonprofit breaking the silence of domestic abuse across Maine and providing resources and connection to its sister-survivors. Founder Patrisha McLean also hosts the radio show “Let’s Talk About It” featuring conversations with domestic violence survivors on WERU every second Friday of the month.

Join Michelle Young of Seafarer Floral for this fun workshop. 

$20 fee (SLIDING SCALE) includes the plate, candle, and greenery. Participants are encouraged to bring a pair of very sharp scissors or snippers if they have any.
