Andre Dubus III is the October guest of the Finding Our Voices Women’s Online Book Club during Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. The event is free and open to women everywhere, whether or not they identify as survivors of domestic abuse.

Andre Dubus III

The discussion, set for 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8, will be about the domestic abuse that runs through an uncanny number of Dubus’s books, according to a Finding Our Voices news release. These include his 1999 novel “House of Sand and Fog,” which was an Oprah Book Club selection and made into an Academy Award-nominated movie; his memoir “Townie,” and novels spanning 2013’s novella collection “Dirty Love,” 2019’s “Gone So Long,” and last year’s “Such Kindness.”

Women can register for the book club at bookclubs.com/finding-our-voices/join.
