Overview
“The precision of a master…[A] great novel.”—Wall Street Journal
Alice McDermott’s The Ninth Hour is a sprawling, powerful story about a widow, her daughter, and the nuns who serve their Irish-American community in 20th century Brooklyn.
IAC Book Club provides an opportunity to engage in friendly and literary dialogue with fellow readers. Discussions led by IAC’s director of programming and education Rachael Gilkey.
All are welcome—even if you have not finished the book. Light refreshments will be served.
