A powerful, moving mother-daughter story filled with struggle and redemption by award-winning author Roddy Doyle.
Paula Spencer would be the first to admit that she's been through hard times and many mistakes only now to be standing, at age 66, on the other side of lockdown, freshly jabbed with her first shot of the vaccine. Now she must help her daughter, Nicola, who has shown up on Paula's Dublin doorstep wanting to leave her husband and three daughters. Nicola also makes a potent revelation about the sexual abuse she faced as a teenager at the hands of her father.
“The Woman Behind the Door” is a powerful moving story about mother-daughter relationships and the endless journey to overcome your past. Many readers will welcome the chance to reconnect with this strong singular character that we have seen in “The Women Who Walked into Doors” and Paula Spencer, but all readers will be glad to have Paula in their life now.
