Event Details

Join us for a lively discussion about this month's title. All are welcome.

For August, we will be discussing Good Night, Irene by Luis Alberto Urrea.

In 1943, Irene Woodward abandons an abusive fiancé in New York and heads to Europe with the Red Cross. She makes friends with Dorothy Dunford, and they become part of the Donut Dollies: providing camaraderie and a taste of home at the front lines before the troops head into battle. Seeing service from the Battle of the Bulge to the liberation of Buchenwald, Irene develops friendships which help her learn to trust again.

Pick up a copy of this month's book at the Accounts Desk at Vancouver Community Library.
