Requests:  0 Summary:  A portrait of the Irish-American experience is presented through the story of an Irish immigrant's suicide and how it reverberates through innumerable lives in early twentieth-century Catholic Brooklyn. On a dim winter afternoon in Catholic Brooklyn, a young Irish immigrant opens the gas taps in his Brooklyn tenement. In the aftermath of the fire that follows, Sister St. Savior, an aging nun appears, unbidden, to direct the way forward for his widow and his unborn child. His suicide reverberates over the decades as decorum, superstition and shame collude to erase the man's brief existence.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott, Alice Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction McDermott   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
