    "description": "On a dim winter afternoon in a Brooklyn tenement, a young Irish immigrant unhooks the oven gas, and inhales. In the aftermath of the fire that follows, Sister St. Savior, an ageing nun appears, unbidden, to direct the way forward for his widow and unborn child. <br></br><br></br>But although superstition and shame will collude to erase the young man's brief existence, his suicide will reverberate through many lives and over many decades. Tracing three generations of a Brooklyn Irish family in prose of startling radiance, The Ninth Hour is an unforgettable story about the limits and demands of love and sacrifice.",
