The Ninth Hour by Alice McDermott

4.0

A peculiar beautifully written book, her writing to me is reminstant of [a:Markus Zusak|11466|Markus Zusak|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1537240528p2/11466.jpg]. It was interesting to learn about the nursing nuns as it was something completely new to me especially in the setting of NYC. The city doesn't play a huge role in the book which is actually nice since so many books turn the city into a character itself which it doesn't need to be. Weird but good is the best way to describe it.
