Bestselling author Luis Alberto Urrea joins book club readers July 19 to discuss “Good Night, Irene” with Times editor Iliana Limon Romero.
Urrea’s acclaimed new novel was inspired by his mother’s Red Cross service on the front lines of World War II. The book delves into the overlooked history of a group nicknamed the “Donut Dollies.”
“It’s a moving and graceful tribute to friendship and to heroic women who have shouldered the burdens of war,” says Publishers Weekly in a starred review.
Born in Tijuana and raised in San Diego, Urrea is the author of 19 books. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his nonfiction book, “The Devil’s Highway.” His novels include the national bestsellers “The Hummingbird’s Daughter” and “The House of Broken Angels.” He teaches at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
